Ingredients

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast about 4 chicken breasts
2 red bell peppers cut into strips
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
3 cloves garlic minced
2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Toppings
chopped peanuts
cilantro
teriyaki glaze
spicy mayo
lime wedges

Instructions

Place the chicken, bell peppers, teriyaki sauce, vinegar, garlic and red pepper flakes in a crock pot on low for 6-8 hours.
After it has cooked, use a fork to shred the chicken and mix with the juices in the slow cooker. Add the peanut butter and stir until combined.
Serve over jasmine rice (or whatever rice you prefer) and top with any combination of the toppings that you prefer. Enjoy!

Notes

Keep leftovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. This tastes just as good reheated as it does fresh, so it makes a great option for meal prepping lunches.
