Easy Slow Cooker Hawaiian Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
9
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
  • 1 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup bell pepper (sliced, any color)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients and chop the bell pepper if using.

    Using fresh pineapple will enhance the flavor.
  2. Layer Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs at the bottom of the slow cooker.

    Ensure they are evenly spaced for even cooking.
  3. Add Pineapple

    Top the chicken with pineapple chunks evenly across.

    Use the juice from canned pineapple for extra flavor.
  4. Pour Teriyaki Sauce

    Pour teriyaki sauce over the chicken and pineapple.

    Make sure the chicken is well-coated with sauce.
  5. Add Bell Pepper

    Add sliced bell pepper on top if using.

    This adds crunch and color to the dish.
  6. Cook

    Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.

    Cooking on low will yield more tender chicken.
  7. Serve

    Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and mix with sauce.

    Serve over rice or with steamed veggies.
