Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 8 ounces canned pineapple chunks including juice
- ½ teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Black pepper to taste
- ½ pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free option
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- Scallions thinly sliced for garnish (optional)
- Cooked rice for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the soy sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, brown sugar, and black pepper directly in the base of your slow cooker, stirring until well integrated.
- Introduce the cubed chicken, chopped red bell pepper, and entire contents of the pineapple can, including its juice, to the slow cooker.
- Carefully mix all components until the chicken and vegetables are thoroughly coated with the seasoned mixture.
- Secure the lid and set the slow cooker on low; allow the ingredients to simmer gently for 4 to 6 hours, or alternatively, cook on high for 2 to 3 hours.
- Roughly 30 minutes before completion, evaluate the seasoning of the sauce and adjust as needed—additional soy sauce or brown sugar may be incorporated according to preference.
- Optionally, sprinkle with scallions just before serving and present over a bed of steamed rice if desired.
