Ingredients
- 3 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 3/5 oz soy sauce
- 1 1/10 oz dark soy sauce
- 2 4/5 oz honey
- 2 1/10 oz mirin
- 1 1/10 oz ginger paste
- 0.53 oz garlic paste
- 1 1/10 lb short grain or sushi rice
- 2 stalks green onions
Corn Starch Slurry
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 4 tbsp cold water
Low‑Cal Yum Yum Sauce
- 3 1/2 oz low‑fat mayonnaise
- 3 1/2 oz 0% Greek yogurt
- 2 3/5 oz sriracha
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- to taste garlic powder
- as needed milk
Instructions
- 1Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker.
- 2Add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, honey, mirin, ginger paste, and garlic paste to the cooker and stir to coat the chicken evenly.
- 3Cook on high for 4–5 hours or on low for 5+ hours until the chicken is tender and easily shreds.
- 4While the chicken cooks, prepare the cornstarch slurry: combine 3 tbsp cornstarch with 4 tbsp cold water in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
- 5When the chicken is done, stir the slurry into the slow cooker, cover, and let the sauce thicken for 15–20 minutes uncovered.
- 6Meanwhile, rinse the short‑grain or sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then cook according to package directions (about 18–20 minutes on the stovetop or 10–12 minutes in a rice cooker).
- 7In a separate bowl, whisk together low‑fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, sriracha, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to make the low‑calorie Yum Yum sauce; add milk as needed to reach a smooth, dip‑ready consistency.
- 8Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide it among serving plates.
- 9Slice or shred the honey teriyaki chicken and place it over the rice.
- 10Drizzle the Yum Yum sauce over the chicken and rice, then garnish with chopped green onions.
- 11Allow the dish to rest for a couple of minutes before serving so the flavors meld.
