In a large crock pot or slow cooker, add the chicken breasts.
Layer the sliced red, green, and yellow bell peppers, diced onion, pineapple chunks, and minced garlic on top of the chicken.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, tomato paste, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and set it to cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry.
About 20 minutes before the cooking time is finished, stir the cornstarch slurry into the crock pot to thicken the stew.
Taste the stew and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the chicken stew warm over rice, noodles, or with crusty bread for a hearty meal.
