Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (or breasts) (cut into 1-inch cubes)
1 20-ounce can pineapple chunks in natural juice (not syrup)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (plus additional to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 small red bell peppers (cored seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks)
1 5-ounce can water chestnuts
2 chopped green onions
Prepared brown rice (quinoa, or cauliflower rice)

Steps:

  • Lightly coat a 5-quart or larger slow cooker with baking spray and arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer on top. Drain the pineapple juice from the can into a large liquid measuring cup or mixing bowl. Whisk in the cornstarch. Once smooth, stir in the soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Pour over the chicken. Add the pineapple chunks and red pepper.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or HIGH for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, until cooked through.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh pineapple, sweet potatoes, and carrots will give your dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Brown the chicken: Browning the chicken before adding it to the slow cooker will help to develop its flavor. You can brown the chicken in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side, or you can use the sauté function on your slow cooker.
  • Use a good quality slow cooker: A good quality slow cooker will cook your food evenly and prevent it from burning. Look for a slow cooker with a programmable timer so that you can set it and forget it.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken can easily overcook in a slow cooker, so be careful not to cook it for too long. The chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve with rice or noodles: This dish is delicious served over rice or noodles. You can also serve it with a side of roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This crock pot pineapple chicken with sweet potatoes and carrots is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sweet potatoes and carrots are cooked to perfection. The pineapple adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the dish, and the brown sugar and honey give it a slight caramelized flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
