Ingredients

– 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
– 1 cup bell pepper, diced (any color)
– 1 cup onion, diced
– ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
– ¼ cup brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground ginger
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
– Cooked rice, for serving
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Sweet Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken is easy and straightforward. Follow these simple steps:

1. Prep Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
2. Add Vegetables: Layer the diced bell peppers and onions on top of the chicken.
3. Prepare Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ground ginger.
4. Pour Sauce: Slowly pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the crockpot.
5. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.
6. Optional Thickening: If you want a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with a little cold water to create a slurry, and stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
7. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks, stirring it into the sauce to soak up the flavors.
8. Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot over cooked rice, garnishing with fresh cilantro if desired.

These steps will guide you to deliciousness with minimal effort.
