🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks, drained (reserve juice)
- 1 cup sweet and sour sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Cooked white rice, for serving
- Chopped green onions or sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Prepare the Sauce: Whisk together the reserved pineapple juice, sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a medium bowl until smooth.
2. Assemble the Crockpot: Place the chicken at the bottom of the crockpot. Layer over the pineapple chunks, red and green bell peppers, onion, and garlic.
3. Add the Sauce: Evenly pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the crockpot.
4. Cook the Chicken: Cover the crockpot and set to cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and thoroughly cooked.
5. Thicken the Sauce: Mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry about 30 minutes before serving. Stir this into the crockpot, blending well. Continue cooking on high for another 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
6. Serve: Dish the sweet Hawaiian chicken over cooked white rice. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds.
