Description
A flavorful dish combining tropical sweetness and savory goodness that’s perfect for family meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger (fresh or ground)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the chicken. Place the chicken breasts in your slow cooker first. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Add the pineapple and liquids. Pour in the pineapple chunks, soy sauce, brown sugar, and ketchup.
- Spice it up! Sprinkle in the garlic powder and ginger, then gently stir with a wooden spoon.
- Set it and forget it. Cover the slow cooker, set to low for 6-8 hours (or high for 3-4 hours), and let it cook.

- Garnish with green onions before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider searing the chicken before cooking. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice, quinoa, or in sliders.
