    Ingredients

    • 2 pounds chicken breast

    • 1 cup teriyaki sauce

    • 0.5 teaspoon minced garlic

    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

    • 2 tablespoons water

    • 4 cups broccoli florets

    • 0.5 teaspoon sesame seeds

    Directions

    • Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot, then pour the teriyaki sauce over the top, ensuring the chicken is completely covered.
    • Add the minced garlic into the crockpot, distributing it evenly over the chicken for better flavor infusion during cooking.
    • Cover the crockpot and cook on low for approximately 4 to 5 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
    • In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water until smooth, then add it to the crockpot and stir well into the liquid.
    • Add the broccoli florets into the crockpot about 30 minutes before serving, then replace the lid to allow them to steam and cook.
    • Once cooked, serve the teriyaki chicken and broccoli hot, garnished with sesame seeds and any additional side of your choice.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    The Forgotten Virtue of Eating Slowly

    Multiple large-scale studies on eating pace and metabolic health have found that fast eaters are significantly more likely to be overweight, have elevated blood sugar levels, and develop metabolic syndrome compared to slow eaters — independent of the actual content of their diet. A 2017 study published in the British Medical Journal found that self-reported slow eaters had a significantly lower body mass index and waist circumference than fast eaters, with the difference persisting after controlling for diet quality, physical activity, and other confounding variables. The pace of eating appears to be an independent variable in metabolic health — making slow eating one of the most accessible and most evidence-supported dietary practices available, requiring no change in what is eaten but only in how it is eaten.

Using a combination of sour cream and mayonnaise rather than mayonnaise alone reduces the overall fat content of the dressing while adding the tang and protein that sour cream contributes.
