Ingredients:
- 2 lb chicken chunks (white or dark meat, as per your preference)
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/3 cup soy sauce (try low sodium if desired)
- 1 medium can pineapple chunks (optional)
- 1 small Vidalia onion, chopped (optional)
- Green pepper, cut into chunks (optional)
Directions:
1. Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients to the slow cooker. If you’re including pineapple chunks, onion, or green peppers, mix them in evenly.
2. Cook: Set your slow cooker to low heat and cook for 6-8 hours. If pressed for time, you can cook on high for 3-4 hours.
3. Serve: Once cooked, the chicken should be tender and flavorful. Serve over steamed rice or alongside a fresh salad.
Tips:
For added flavor, sear the chicken chunks in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker.
Toss in a pinch of garlic or ginger to enhance the tropical flavor profile.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch with water and stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
