Sweet Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken
INGREDIENTS:
2 lb chicken chunks (white or dark meat, or both, depending on your preference)
1 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/3 cup soy sauce (low sodium version can be used)
1 medium can pineapple chunks (optional)
1 small onion, chopped (optional)
Green pepper, cut into chunks (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Combine Ingredients in the Crockpot:
Place the chicken chunks in the slow cooker. Add the pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and stir to combine. If you are using the optional ingredients, add the pineapple chunks, chopped onion, and green pepper as well.
Cook on Low:
Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours. If you want a quicker version, you can cook it on high for 3-4 hours. However, the low setting is recommended for the best tenderness.
Check for Doneness:
After the cooking time, check to make sure the chicken is fully cooked and tender. The chicken should easily shred with a fork when done.
Serve:
Serve the Sweet Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken over rice, with steamed vegetables, or even in tacos or wraps.
