A delightful blend of sweet and tangy flavors featuring chicken, pineapple, and bell peppers, cooked effortlessly in a crockpot.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks, drained (juice reserved)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • Cooked rice
  • Chopped green onions
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts or thighs in the bottom of your crockpot.
  2. Add the pineapple chunks, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper on top of the chicken.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the reserved pineapple juice, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the crockpot.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Add this mixture to the crockpot to thicken the sauce.
  8. Stir everything together and cook on high for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
  9. Serve the sweet Hawaiian chicken over cooked rice, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For enhanced flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce mixture for several hours or overnight before cooking.
