Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts: The star of the dish, providing protein and absorbing all the delicious flavors.
  • 1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks, drained: Adds natural sweetness and a tropical vibe.
  • 1 cup teriyaki sauce: A key ingredient that infuses the dish with rich, savory flavor.
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced: Provides color, crunch, and additional vitamins.
  • 1 onion, sliced: Enhances the flavor profile with its aromatic qualities.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced: Adds depth and irresistible aroma.
  • Salt and pepper to taste: Essential for seasoning and enhancing all the flavors.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Begin by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot. Lay them flat to ensure even cooking and maximum flavor absorption. The chicken is the canvas upon which all the other ingredients will shine.

Step 2: Add the Flavorful Ingredients

Next, add the drained pineapple chunks, teriyaki sauce, sliced red bell pepper, sliced onion, and minced garlic to the crockpot. This combination will create a delightful sauce that will coat the chicken as it cooks. When the chicken is done, it will be infused with all of these vibrant flavors.

Step 3: Season It Up

Sprinkle some salt and pepper to taste over the mixture, ensuring it’s well-seasoned. While the teriyaki sauce packs a flavorful punch, a little extra seasoning can enhance the dish even more.

Step 4: Cook Until Tender

Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The longer it cooks, the more tender the chicken will become! The low-and-slow method allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a rich and hearty dish.

Step 5: Shred and Serve

Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and mix it well with the sauce before serving. This allows the chicken to soak up even more flavor and ensures every bite is filled with deliciousness. Enjoy the tropical flavors with your choice of rice, tortilla wraps, or a fresh salad!
