Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup teriyaki sauce (alcohol-free)
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper, sliced (any color works)
  • 1/2 cup onion, sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (alcohol-free)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot.
  2. Layer the pineapple chunks over the chicken.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken and pineapple.
  5. Scatter the sliced bell peppers and onions on top.
  6. Cover and cook on low for about 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  7. Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks right in the pot.
  8. Serve over rice or with your favorite side.

Notes

For a twist, consider adding other veggies like carrots or snap peas. It's best to cook on low for maximum tenderness. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
