Today, I am back with another low FODMAP slow cooker recipe. It’s that time of year where I notice lots of you are searching for my gluten-free slow cooker recipes.

And if that’s you, you can check out my big guide to the 10 best gluten and dairy free slow cooker recipes to make this winter.

However, at the same time. I know some of you also visit this blog because you’re low fodmap, and I’m really trying to increase the amount of low fodmap recipes I have on the site.

A little note that if you are on the low fodmap diet, then you might want to also check out my slow cooker butter chicken, which despite its name is also gluten and dairy-free, and it’s also suitable if you’re on the low fodmap diet.

If you’re new here, I personally don’t follow the low fodmap diet, but I blog about my journey with Crohn’s disease and also following a gluten and dairy-free diet.

However, when I can I try to make sure that my recipes can be created by as many of you as possible, whether you’re on the low fodmap diet or the low residue diet, or just gluten and dairy-free like me.

Therefore this recipe is super simple and works while for a variety of different diets, and I will explain the logic behind the ingredients and feel free to change it slightly to adapt to your own personal taste.

I’m so pleased with how this one came out, I only used a handful of ingredients for the slow cooker sauce, but it was really really rich and tasted exactly like teriyaki sauce! Something that I haven’t actually had in ages, because it’s quite hard to find a gluten-free teriyaki sauce.

Not only that but you don’t actually end up having a lot of sauce, a little sauce goes a long way.

This looks like fat but it’s actually just the marinade.

Obviously, there is some fat in chicken thighs, but I feel this would just work just as well substituted with chicken breasts if that’s an issue for you.

I kept it really simple and serve these with a side of rice and sweet potato rice (I tend to do half and half, so I limit the amount of white rice I have, which is just a personal preference)

But feel free to cook this with whatever veggies you fancy with that sweet potato or some broccoli I think would work really well with this recipe.

Nutrition notes, low fodmap slow cooker chicken teriyaki chicken thighs

So just a few nutrition notes for those of you who follow specialist diets.

If you’re on the low residue diet which means you limit the amount of fat and fibre this one will work absolutely fine in terms of fibre but you might want to change to regular chicken breasts if you’re particularly worried about the amount of fat.

I’ve used peas, for the photo but the peas are just optional and obviously white rice is a great staple if you’re on the low residue diet.

If you’re on the low fodmap diet, then this recipe is specifically designed for that. So it uses maple syrup rather than honey, which is a low fodmap friendly sweetener.

However, you do need to make sure you’re using 100% maple syrup to make it low fodmap compliant. You don’t need a lot of this at all so I use four tablespoons for the whole recipe and I would say that probably only a tiny fraction of that ended up on my meal because there was quite a lot of liquid leftover.

Other than that, the rest of the sauce base is also low fodmap friendly. So, it uses gluten-free soy sauce, and then a small amount of gluten-free amino acids which again are low fodmap compatible. t served with rice and peas (which is a low fodmap vegetable) but you can alternate and decide to serve it however you wish.

If you’re not on the low fodmap diet and you’re just here because you’re gluten and dairy-free, then you might want to perhaps use honey if that’s more readily available than maple syrup.
