Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Teriyaki sauce
  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 yellow onion (diced)
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons toasted sesame seed oil
  • 3 cups long grain jasmine rice
  • 3 cups frozen peas and carrots (12 ounce bag)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Green onions
  • Sesame seeds

Equipment

  • Crock Pot

Method
 

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Pour teriyaki sauce into slow cooker. Add chicken to slow cooker. Place diced onions and minced garlic on top of chicken. Drizzle toasted sesame seed oil over chicken. Set crockpot to HIGH and cook for 3 hours. While the chicken is cooking, prepare rice according to directions on the package. Cool to room temperature. When chicken is cooked, switch Crockpot to WARM function. Dice chicken into bite sized pieces. Then place diced chicken back into the slow cooker. Add rice, frozen peas and carrots, and soy sauce. Stir well to combine. Place lid on slow cooker. Lightly scramble and cook eggs in a skillet on the stovetop. Then add scrambled egg to rice mixture. Serve warm with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Use cooked and cooled rice: If the rice is still hot, it’ll go mushy when added to the crockpot.
  • Prep rice the day before: I recommend cooking the rice the day before and chilling it in the fridge overnight to help with prep.
  • Add more veggies: Feel free to add in other veggies. Bell peppers or mushrooms both work great.
  • Low-sodium soy sauce: If you prefer, use a low-sodium soy sauce. Or skip the soy sauce, and use it for serving only.
