Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks, with juice
½ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water (for thickening)

Optional garnish: sliced green onions or sesame seeds

Instructions

Step 1:

Lightly grease the inside of your crockpot with cooking spray.

Step 2:

Place the chicken pieces in the bottom of the slow cooker in an even layer.

Step 3:

In a bowl, mix pineapple chunks with juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, and ginger.

Step 4:

Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours until the chicken is tender.

Step 5:

Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir it into the crockpot during the last 20 minutes to thicken the sauce before serving.

Notes

If using chicken breasts, check earlier for doneness since they cook faster than thighs and may dry out if overcooked.
