You’ll need a few ingredients and a slow cooker to make a tasty Hawaiian chicken in the crockpot. Here’s a quick and delicious recipe for you:
Ingredients:
2 pounds (900 grams) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into chunks
1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
1 chopped red bell pepper
1 diced green bell pepper
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup carrots, chopped
1 cup pineapple, diced
1 tbsp soy sauce
ketchup, 1/2 cup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 minced garlic cloves
1 teaspoon grated or chopped ginger
1 tsp cornstarch (optional for thickening)
2 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)
Optional garnishes: sesame seeds and chopped green onions
Serve with cooked white rice
Instructions:
Combine the soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a medium mixing bowl. This is going to be your sauce.
In the crockpot, combine the diced chicken, bell peppers, onion, carrots, and pineapple chunks.
In the crockpot, pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. To ensure that the sauce coats all of the ingredients, stir everything together.
Set the crockpot on low for about 4-5 hours or high for about 2-3 hours. The cooking time will vary based on your crockpot, so make sure the chicken is cooked through.
If you want a thicker sauce, prepare a slurry with the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir the slurry into the crockpot for the final 30 minutes of cooking to thicken the sauce.
The Hawaiian chicken is ready to serve when the chicken is cooked through and tender and the vegetables are soft.
To add flavor and presentation, serve the Hawaiian chicken over cooked white rice and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if preferred.
Enjoy your delicious Hawaiian chicken crockpot dish! It’s ideal for a tasty and simple meal.
