Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 20 oz pineapple chunks (with juice, canned)
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (or ground ginger)
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 4 cups cooked rice (for serving)
- 2 tablespoons scallions, sliced (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a crock pot in a single layer.
Drain the canned pineapple chunks, reserving the juice. Add the pineapple chunks to the crock pot, spreading evenly over the chicken.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the reserved pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and pineapple in the crock pot.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion to the crock pot, spreading them evenly over the top.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Once cooking is finished, remove about 1/2 cup of the liquid from the crock pot and transfer it to a small saucepan.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Add this slurry to the saucepan with the liquid.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens into a sauce (about 2-3 minutes).
Pour the thickened sauce back into the crock pot and gently mix to coat the chicken and vegetables.
Serve the Hawaiian chicken over cooked rice, garnished with sliced scallions if desired.
