2. Remove chicken and shred using two forks, hold nearby.
3. Mix together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water to make a slurry then mix that into the teriyaki sauce in the crock pot. This will thicken up the sauce.
4. Add the shredded chicken back into the crock pot and toss together until chicken is completely coated. Top with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired, serve and enjoy!
