Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 15-ounce can pineapple chunks (with juice)
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 for garnish green onions (sliced thin)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 4 cups cooked white rice

Directions

Step 1

Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into the slow cooker.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks with juice, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and fresh grated ginger. Mix well.

Step 3

Pour the pineapple sauce mixture over the chicken thighs in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is completely covered.

Step 4

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily shred with a fork.

Step 5

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Set aside.

Step 6

Using a ladle, skim off any excess fat from the surface of the sauce in the slow cooker. Optionally, you can transfer the sauce to a saucepan and simmer it on medium heat for 5-7 minutes, if you want it slightly thicker.

Step 7

Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir it into the sauce to ensure it's evenly coated.

Step 8

Serve hot over cooked white rice, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
