Creating Slow Cooker Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken is simple! Just follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Place boneless, skinless chicken thighs at the bottom of the slow cooker.

2. Add Pineapple: Pour the can of pineapple chunks (with juice) over the chicken.

3. Layer Vegetables: Add sliced bell peppers and onions on top of the chicken and pineapple.

4. Mix Sauce: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, black pepper, and sesame oil. Stir well to incorporate.

5. Pour Sauce: Drizzle the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.

6. Cook: Cover the slow cooker with a lid and set it to low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours.

7. Check for Doneness: The chicken should be tender and easily shredded with a fork. If it isn’t done, leave it to cook longer.

8. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, shred the chicken pieces using two forks right in the slow cooker, mixing them with the sauce and vegetables.

9. Serve: Spoon the Hawaiian chicken over a bed of warm rice or quinoa for a satisfying meal.

10. Garnish: Optional – sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top before serving for added flavor and presentation.

These clear and concise steps make preparing this delicious dish straightforward and enjoyable!
