Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken
- Start by trimming the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to remove any excess fat. Place the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring it's evenly distributed at the bottom for even cooking.
- In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple juice, diced pineapple, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper. Whisk together until the brown sugar dissolves.
- Pour the prepared pineapple sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring that each piece is well-coated. Mix gently with a wooden spoon.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks, mixing it into the sauce.
- To serve, ladle the chicken and sauce onto a plate or bowl, garnishing with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over rice or quinoa.
