Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 68 oz each)
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce (low-sodium works well)
  • 8 oz crushed pineapple (in juice, undrained)
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water (cold)
  • Sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Layer the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Whisk together pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, crushed pineapple, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
  3. Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.
  4. Cover your slow cooker and choose your desired cooking setting (low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours). The chicken is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set aside.
  6. Create a slurry by whisking together cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
  7. Thicken the sauce by stirring in the slurry and cooking uncovered for 10-15 minutes until thickened.
  8. Shred the chicken using two forks and return it to the sauce, warming through.
  9. Serve over cooked rice or noodles, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

You can substitute brown sugar with honey or maple syrup. Add vegetables like bell peppers for extra color and nutrition.
