For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes before adding it to the slow cooker. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add an additional tablespoon of cornstarch. Serve over a bed of steamed jasmine rice for an enhanced dining experience.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a slow cooker, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk until well blended. Add pineapple with juice and chicken, stirring to ensure the chicken is fully coated in the teriyaki mixture. (5 minutes)
02
StepCover the slow cooker and cook on High for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. (150-180 minutes)
03
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water until smooth. This mixture will act as a thickening agent for the sauce. (2 minutes)
04
StepStir the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker, ensuring it is evenly distributed. (1 minute)
05
StepMicrowave rice packets for 1 minute each to loosen the rice. Stir the rice into the chicken mixture. (3 minutes)
06
StepCover the slow cooker again and cook on High for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors of the teriyaki sauce. (30 minutes)
07
StepBefore serving, garnish generously with thinly sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal. (2 minutes)
