Equipment

  • Crockpot

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 cups red bell peppers sliced, seeds removed
  • ½ cup yellow onion diced
  • 2 cups pineapple cut into small cubes
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar or sub brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce or sub tamari
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoon arrowroot or cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoon green onions or more to taste; chopped

Instructions
 

  • Spray your crockpot with nonstick spray. Then, season the chicken with salt and pepper and place it into the bottom of the crockpot.
  • Add the bell peppers, onion, pineapple, garlic, ginger, and sugar to the crockpot as well. Next, whisk the soy sauce and honey together in a small bowl, then pour that over top of the chicken and veggies.
  • Cook the chicken on LOW for 4-5 hours. Then, whisk the arrowroot/cornstarch and water together to create a paste, and pour it into your crockpot, giving everything a good stir. Continue cooking for 30-40 more minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve chicken over rice or with your favorite vegetables and garnish with green onions. Enjoy!

Notes

Calories are per serving and are an estimation; serving size is 4-6 servings. Substitutions: you can use brown sugar instead of coconut sugar; you can use cornstarch instead of arrowroot; you can use tamari OR coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. I recommend using fresh pineapple in this recipe; if you do use canned pineapple, be sure to drain any of the liquid from the can before adding it to your crockpot.
