Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 20 ounces pineapple chunks (with juice)
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 cups soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks with their juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
Pour the pineapple mixture over the chicken in the crock pot, ensuring the chicken is fully coated.
Step 4
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
Step 5
Once the chicken has cooked, carefully remove it from the crock pot onto a plate and cover to keep warm.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to create a slurry.
Step 7
Add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce in the crock pot, stirring well. Turn the crock pot to high and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Step 8
Return the chicken to the crock pot to coat with the thickened sauce.
Step 9
Serve the chicken warm, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Pair with steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
