Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Start by placing the diced onion at the bottom of your slow cooker. Lay the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on top, ensuring they are evenly spread out.
  2. Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Gochujang chili paste, garlic paste, ginger paste, and honey until well combined.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Set your slow cooker to low and cook for 6 to 8 hours. If you're in a hurry, 4 hours on high will also work.
  4. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the lid and use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker.
  5. Prepare the Rice: While the chicken is shredding, prepare your Uncle Ben's Jasmine Ready Rice or preferred rice according to package directions.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the prepared rice among six bowls, topping each bowl with the shredded chicken mixture.
  7. Make the Spicy Korean Mayo: In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, additional Gochujang, and a splash of soy sauce until smooth and creamy.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Drizzle the spicy Korean mayo over each bowl and garnish with scallions or sesame seeds, if desired.
