Ingredients
  

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup ketchup

1/4 cup rice vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, grated

1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced

1 onion, sliced

1 cup green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Cooked rice (for serving)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well blended.

    Arrange Chicken in the Crockpot: Place the boneless chicken thighs into the bottom of the crockpot in a single layer.

      Add Vegetables and Pineapple: Scatter the sliced bell pepper, onion, and pineapple chunks over the chicken, ensuring even coverage.

        Pour the Marinade: Drizzle the prepared marinade evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the crockpot. Make sure everything is well coated.

          Cooking Time: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.

            Shred Chicken: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, mixing it with the sauce and veggies.

              Serve: Serve the sweet Hawaiian chicken over a bed of cooked rice.

                Garnish: Top with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before enjoying.
