Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 15-ounce can pineapple chunks (with juice)
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 for garnish green onions (sliced thin)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 4 cups cooked white rice
Instructions
Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into the slow cooker.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks with juice, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and fresh grated ginger. Mix well.
Pour the pineapple sauce mixture over the chicken thighs in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is completely covered.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily shred with a fork.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Set aside.
Using a ladle, skim off any excess fat from the surface of the sauce in the slow cooker. Optionally, you can transfer the sauce to a saucepan and simmer it on medium heat for 5-7 minutes, if you want it slightly thicker.
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir it into the sauce to ensure it's evenly coated.
Serve hot over cooked white rice, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
