Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in your slow cooker in a single, even layer.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, crushed pineapple, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Stir until the brown sugar is fully dissolved.
- Pour the prepared sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
- Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and set it aside. Mix cornstarch with water until smooth.
- Stir the cornstarch slurry into the remaining sauce in the slow cooker. Turn the heat to high and let the sauce simmer uncovered for about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Shred the chicken with two forks if desired, or leave the breasts whole and return to the slow cooker with the thickened sauce.
- Serve the Sweet Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken over rice, quinoa, or noodles. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
