If you have to use breasts, reduce cook time to 2-3 hours - If the recipe comes out too - you can remove the liquid from the crock pot and simmer in a pan until reduced/thick. However, the corn starch added at the beginning will "set" as the chicken/sauce cools - so usually just letting it sit for a bit and cool is all you do the corn starch added at the beginning will "set" as the chicken/sauce cools ⁃ so usually just letting it sit for a bit and cool is all you need to do (transferring to a separate bowl will speed up the process) ⁃ The main reason for using a slow cooker here is convenience/bulk prep ⁃ if you want to make more traditional teriyaki, use the same marinade ingredients and simmer the liquid in a pan until thickened (you'll only need ~1/2 the cornstarch), marinade the chicken for a few hours, then sear/grill over high heat and baste with additional teriyaki sauce
