Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Dice one onion and place it evenly across the bottom of your slow cooker. Layer the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on top.

  3. Slow Cook the Chicken: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, checking for tenderness.
  4. Shred the Chicken: Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Stir it back into the sauce.
  5. Prepare the Rice: Cook the rice according to the package instructions, typically taking 90 seconds in the microwave.
  6. Assemble the Rice Bowls: Divide the cooked rice into bowls and top with shredded chicken and sauce.
  7. Make the Spicy Mayo: Combine mayo, additional Gochujang, and soy sauce in a bowl, whisking until creamy.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Drizzle Spicy Korean Mayo over each bowl and garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds.
