Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb chicken cut into bite-sized chunks, white or dark meat
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce low sodium recommended
  • 1 can pineapple chunks 15 oz, drained, optional
  • 1 Vidalia onion chopped, optional
  • 1 green bell pepper cut into chunks, optional

Instructions
 

  • Slice 1-2 pounds of chicken into bite-sized chunks. Dice 1 onion and cut 1 green bell pepper into chunks, if using.
  • In a slow cooker, mix together 1 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/3 cup soy sauce. Stir well to dissolve the brown sugar completely.
  • Place the chicken, pineapple chunks, diced onion, and green bell pepper in the slow cooker. Stir to coat everything with the sauce.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender.
  • While the chicken is finishing, prepare white or jasmine rice. Spoon the pineapple chicken over the rice, ensuring each serving includes a good mix of sauce and vegetables.
  • Sprinkle with green onions or sesame seeds before serving for added flavor and color.

Notes

The sweet pineapple juice and brown sugar balance the savory soy sauce. Serve over rice for a complete meal.
