This easy-to-make weeknight dinner will whisk you away to the tropics in three simple steps.

Provided by Corey Valley

Categories     Entree

Time 3h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 to 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups honey bbq sauce
1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks, drained and 1/4 cup liquid reserved
1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 cups cooked rice
Chopped fresh parsley, if desired

  • Spray 4- to 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place chicken thighs in slow cooker.
  • Top with garlic and sauce. Add pineapple chunks and 1/4 cup reserved liquid.
  • Cover; cook on High heat setting 3 hours or on Low heat setting 5 hours. When 30 minutes are left of cook time, add bell peppers. In small bowl, beat cornstarch and 1/4 cup water. Stir into slow cooker. Cover; cook on High heat setting for remaining time.
  • Serve with rice and parsley.

Nutrition Facts : ServingSize 1 Serving

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best. You can also use a whole chicken, but you'll need to adjust the cooking time.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your dish the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen vegetables, be sure to thaw them before cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: If you overcrowd the slow cooker, the food won't cook evenly. Make sure to leave some space between the chicken and vegetables.
  • Cook on low for best results: Cooking on low will help the chicken and vegetables cook evenly and tenderize. If you're short on time, you can cook on high, but the chicken and vegetables may not be as tender.
  • Add pineapple at the end: Adding the pineapple at the end of the cooking time will help it retain its flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker chicken and vegetables with pineapple is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a busy weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the vegetables are crisp-tender, and the pineapple adds a sweet and tangy flavor. Serve it over rice or noodles, or with a side of salad.
