Description
A simple yet flavorful Sweet Hawaiian Crock Pot Chicken recipe that combines tender chicken breasts with a sweet and tangy sauce of pineapple, soy sauce, and ginger.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (with juice)
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooked rice (for serving)
- Green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Layer the chicken: Put the chicken breasts directly into the crock pot.
- Create the sauce: In a mixing bowl, blend together the pineapple chunks (with juice), soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, minced garlic, minced ginger, and black pepper until well combined.
- Combine in the pot: Pour this mixture over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are nicely coated.
- Cook to perfection: Cover the crock pot with its lid. Choose your cooking time: set on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fork-tender.
- Shred and mix: Once done, shred the chicken using two forks and stir it in the sauce to absorb all those glorious flavors.
- Serve immediately: Plate the concoction over cooked rice and garnish with chopped green onions.
Notes
For a vegetarian twist, substitute chicken with tofu and for a lower sodium option, use low-sodium soy sauce.
