Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 20 ounces pineapple chunks (with juice)
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot in a single layer.
Pour the entire can of pineapple chunks along with the juice over the chicken.
In a small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and honey until well combined.
Pour the teriyaki mixture over the chicken and pineapple in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the crock pot and set aside on a cutting board or plate.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the sauce in the crock pot to thicken it.
Turn the crock pot to high and let the sauce simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until thickened to your desired consistency.
Optional: Shred the chicken with two forks or slice it into thick pieces, then return it to the crock pot and coat it in the sauce.
Serve the chicken over steamed rice, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
