Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken

I just love crock pot cooking! Just pop the ingredients into the crock pot and a few hours later you have dinner! Here is a recipe from livinglovingpaleo.com that can easily be adapted to be IC friendly (according to your tolerances).

Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken


Ingredients:

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
½ cup Coconut Aminos
3 tablespoons honey
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced (approximately 4 teaspoons)
1 ½ teaspoon minced ginger (if tolerated)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)


Directions:

1. Place the Coconut Aminos, honey, garlic, ginger and salt in your slow cooker, and stir to combine.

2. Add the chicken thighs and stir once more, coating the chicken with the sauce. Cook on low for 6-7 hours.

3. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set aside. Pour the sauce from the slow cooker into a pan, and heat over medium heat on your stove, until the sauce is reduced and has the consistency of thick syrup. *Don’t add the chicken back into the pan until the sauce is thick in syrupy, or else it won’t thicken.

4. Chop the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, and add to the pan with the sauce. Stir well to combine. Enjoy!
