Step 1
Start by putting some flour in a shallow bowl. Coat each chicken thigh in the flour, shaking off any extra. Place the chicken pieces at the bottom of your slow cooker, then scatter the pineapple chunks on top. In a small bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, and garlic until well combined. Pour this sauce over the chicken and pineapple in the slow cooker. Cover and cook everything on low for about 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and flavorful.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines sweet and savory flavors in a simple, hands-off way. Using a slow cooker means the chicken turns out tender and juicy every time. It’s perfect for busy days when you want a delicious meal without spending hours in the kitchen.
How to serve
Serve with steamed white rice or quinoa to soak up the flavorful sauce. A side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad pairs nicely to balance the sweetness. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro for a fresh finish.
Storage & leftovers
Let the dish cool completely before storing in an airtight container. It keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze portions for up to 2 months—just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
