Ingredients
For the Honey Teriyaki Chicken
- 4 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari to avoid gluten
- 2 tsp freshly grated ginger
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 3 Tbsp mirin
- 2 Tbsp honey
- ¼ cup Swerve brown sugar substitute
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch optional
For the Peanut Sauce
- 2 Tbsp PB Fit powdered peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp water
- 2 Tbsp sugar-free Yum Yum sauce
For the Bowls

- 8 oz shredded cabbage mix
- 1 bunch green onions chopped
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- ½ cup lightly salted peanuts chopped (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Honey Teriyaki Chicken
- Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, remove and discard as much fat off the chicken are you are reasonably able. This will leave approximately 3-½ lbs meat.
- Set aside the cornstarch. It will not be needed until after the chicken cooks.
- With the exception of the cornstarch, add the rest of the Honey Teriyaki Chicken ingredients to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
- Add the chicken to the slow cooker and toss to coat in the marinade. Cook on high 4 hours or low 8 hours.
- Using tongs or a slotted spoon, gently remove the meat from the slow cooker to a bowl.
- Strain the juices into a medium saucepan. Simmer 10 minutes or until reduced by half.
- In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons cold water and add to the saucepan.
- Simmer gently until thickened. Remove from the heat and sauce add to the chicken.
Make the Peanut Sauce
- Combine the PB Fit powder, water, and Yum Yum sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
Assemble the Bowls
- To each plate or meal prep container, distribute rice, chicken (again, use tongs or a slotted spoon), and veggies. Top with cilantro, green onion, and peanuts. Drizzle the peanut sauce, as well as more teriyaki sauce.
