Sweet Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
– 2 pounds of chicken pieces (can be white meat, dark meat, or a combination)
– 1 cup of pineapple juice
– 1/4 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
– 1/3 cup of soy sauce (low sodium is advisable)
– 1 medium-sized can of pineapple chunks (optional)
– 1 small Vidalia onion, diced (optional)
– 1 green bell pepper, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. Begin by placing the chicken pieces into the crockpot.
2. Pour in the pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and any optional ingredients (pineapple chunks, onion, and green bell pepper). Gently mix to combine.
3. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
4. Verify the chicken’s doneness; it should easily shred when tested with a fork.
5. Optional: For a thicker sauce, combine 1 to 2 teaspoons of cornstarch with water, stir this mixture into the crockpot, and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes on high.
6. Serve the dish warm over rice, quinoa, or your preferred side dish.
Savor the delightful sweet and tangy flavors of this Hawaiian-inspired chicken!
