You’ll add some chicken, white part of the green onion, water chestnuts, and shredded carrots to your slow cooker. You’ll also mix together the soy sauce, vinegar, and water together. Then pour it over the chicken. This will all cook on low for 4-5 hours.
Once the chicken is cooked, you’ll take it from the slow cooker and shred it. Then place it back in the slow cooker and mix it in along with the hoisin sauce. To serve, just place some of the chicken mixture un a leaf of butter lettuce. Drizzle with some teriyaki sauce, green onion and a sprinkle with sesame seeds.
