Description
Discover the savory flavors of our Sweet Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken—a quick and ultimate dish to satisfy your cravings. Perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup diced pineapple (fresh or canned)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Sliced green onions (optional)
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Bell peppers (optional)
Fresh cilantro or parsley (for garnish)
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Start by preparing your chicken breasts. You can leave them whole or cut them into smaller pieces if you prefer quicker cooking and easier serving. Place the chicken at the bottom of the crockpot.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the pineapple juice, diced pineapple, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
3. Pour the pineapple mixture over the chicken in the crockpot, ensuring all pieces are well coated in the sauce.
4. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken is ready when it is fully cooked and tender.
5. Once done, shred the chicken using two forks and mix it back into the sauce to soak up the flavors.
6. Serve hot, garnished with your choice of toppings like green onions or sesame seeds, alongside your favorite sides.
Notes
For extra texture and flavor, add sliced bell peppers during the last hour of cooking.
You can thicken the sauce by removing the lid for the last 30 minutes or stirring in a cornstarch slurry.
This dish pairs well with rice, quinoa, or steamed vegetables.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy twist, or keep it mild for a family-friendly version.
