Crockpot Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken

This particular pineapple teriyaki chicken recipe is SO SIMPLE that throwing it in the crockpot before work or school takes only minutes and saves you the mental anguish of wondering what you’re going to fix for dinner! That is probably my very FAVORITE part about crockpot cooking.

It’s been a while since I’ve shared a crockpot recipe. Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve MADE anything in my crockpot! Sometimes I have to give myself a mental kick in the pants to use my crockpot more often! I forget what a time (and money) saver it is!  Time – because you don’t have to spend an hour “fixing” dinner, and money – because when you’re running late and you don’t have time to make dinner, you aren’t running out to the nearest fast food joint (or ordering pizza!)

When I decided to try this recipe I originally saw on Michelle’s Little Piece Of Heaven, I figured it would be fairly well-received amongst my chicken-loving crew — but I had no idea HOW well-received it would be! My husband said it was his favorite crockpot chicken recipe yet! Pretty nice when you consider how SIMPLE it is to make.

Pineapple Teriyaki Crockpot Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/3 cup soy sauce (I used a gluten-free Tamari)
• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Directions

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. (I skipped this step…I just put in whole chicken breasts.)

Add chicken and the other ingredients to your slow cooker. Stir.

Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or until chicken is tender and falls apart.

That is all there is to it. If you prefer a thicker sauce, transfer to a small saucepan and boil with flour or cornstarch until reduced to the desired thickness.

Serve over rice.
