Description
A deliciously sticky and savory chicken dish with a sweet-salty glaze, tender pineapple, and a crispy finish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken breasts
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Toss chicken into the crockpot in a single layer. Add pineapple and bell peppers on top.
- Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, garlic, and ginger; pour over chicken and give a light stir.
- Cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2.5–3 hours.
- Remove chicken and pour sauce into a small saucepan; simmer until slightly reduced and glossy (about 5–7 minutes).
- For crisp edges, place chicken on a baking sheet and broil for 3–5 minutes per side or sear in a hot skillet until edges caramelize.
- Plate chicken, spoon the reduced glaze over top, scatter green onions, and serve with rice or fluffy greens.
Notes
For best results, do not skip reducing the sauce and consider broiling for a crisp finish. Store sauce and chicken separately for optimal crispiness when reheating.
