Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by dicing one onion and placing the pieces evenly at the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Gently lay the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on top of the diced onions in the slow cooker.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Gochujang chili paste, garlic, ginger, and honey until smooth.
  4. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and onions in the slow cooker, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  5. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for about 6 to 8 hours, or until the chicken is tender.
  6. Once cooked, carefully remove the lid and use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker.
  7. Prepare four bags of Uncle Ben's Jasmine Ready Rice according to the package instructions.
  8. Distribute the fluffy rice evenly into six bowls and top with shredded chicken mixture.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, additional Gochujang, and soy sauce until smooth.
