Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken thighs
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the crockpot: Place the chicken thighs evenly in the bottom of the crockpot to create a single layer for even cooking.
- Add sauce and vegetables: Pour 1 cup of teriyaki sauce over the chicken, then add pineapple chunks and sliced bell pepper on top, distributing them evenly.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the teriyaki chicken mixture over cooked rice for a complete meal.
Notes
- Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for quicker cooking and easier shredding if desired.
- Adjust the amount of teriyaki sauce based on how saucy you like the dish.
- For additional veggies, consider adding sliced onions or snap peas.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken and vegetables after cooking and simmer the sauce on the stovetop to reduce it.
- Serve with steamed white or brown rice to soak up the flavorful sauce.
