Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
For the Sauce
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup ketchup

  • 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup green onions (sliced, for garnish)

Method

  2. Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and pour the sauce over the top.
  3. Add the pineapple chunks on top of the chicken.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Notes

Extra tips: Add some chili flakes for a spicy kick, substitute chicken with tofu for a vegan option, or double the sauce for heartier servings. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
