Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 15-ounce can Pineapple chunks (with juice)
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.33 cup Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple chunks (including their juice), soy sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Pour the pineapple mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is fully coated.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks or leave them whole as desired.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the sauce in the slow cooker and stir well. Cook on high for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your liking.
Return the chicken to the slow cooker and stir to coat it evenly in the thickened sauce.
Serve the Hawaiian Crock Pot Chicken over cooked white rice, and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
