- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks, drained
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes for a kick
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your Crock-Pot. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, mix the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Pour this mixture over the chicken.
- Add the pineapple chunks and chopped bell peppers to the Crock-Pot.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the chicken is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken after cooking and set it aside. Transfer the sauce to a saucepan and simmer until it reduces to your desired consistency.
- Serve the chicken topped with sauce, and enjoy the tropical flavors!
