  • Place the chicken breasts in a slow cooker.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, ginger, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken.
  • Place the lid on the slow cooked and cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or LOW for 6 to 7 hours.
  • Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred with two forks.
  • Pour the teriyaki sauce from the slow cooker through a strainer into a saucepan. Place the saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer.
