Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken breasts
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts directly into your crockpot.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, chicken broth, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated.

Notes
For thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered for an additional 30 minutes after shredding the chicken. Can substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian option.
