Slow Cooker Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken

Ingredients You’ll Need:

Let’s gather these tasty ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup of pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1/2 cup of soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup of brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon of minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Let’s Cook It Up!

Now that we’ve got our ingredients ready, let’s get to the good part—cooking!

  1. First, place the chicken thighs at the bottom of your slow cooker. We want them to soak up all that delicious sauce.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir until everything is well combined.
  3. Pour this tasty mixture over the chicken, making sure it’s well coated. Then add in the pineapple chunks, sliced bell pepper, and onion over the top.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for about 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. The chicken should be tender and juicy!
  5. Once it’s done, lift the chicken out and set it aside. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water and then stir it into the sauce in the slow cooker. Turn the heat to high and cook for another 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Shred the chicken and return it to the slow cooker, mixing everything together so it’s all coated in that luscious sauce.
  7. Serve this beauty over a scoop of cooked rice, and you’ve got a dinner that’ll have everyone coming back for more!

And just like that, you have a scrumptious Slow Cooker Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken that’s bursting with flavor. Enjoy, and don’t forget to share with your folks!
