Description
A delightful balance of tender chicken and sweet pineapple in a savory sauce, simmered to perfection in a slow cooker.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken thighs or breasts
- 1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks in juice
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice for serving
Instructions
- Start by preparing all your ingredients, chopping your bell pepper, onion, garlic, and ginger. Gather your chicken and pineapple.
- In your slow cooker, combine the chicken, pineapple (including the juice), soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, sliced bell pepper, and onion.
- Season generously with salt and pepper, then stir everything together to combine all the flavors thoroughly.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should become tender, and the flavors should meld into a luscious sauce.
- Once cooked, serve your Slow Cook Pineapple Chicken over a mound of fluffy cooked rice, allowing the sauce to soak into the grains.
Notes
Make-ahead tips: Prepare all your vegetables a day ahead. Consider marinating the chicken overnight for deeper flavor.
