1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Sliced green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
In your slow cooker, place the seasoned chicken breasts.
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with juice), soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Stir well to blend all the flavors together.
Pour the pineapple sauce mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, after cooking, remove the chicken and set it aside. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry. Stir this into the remaining sauce in the slow cooker, cover, and cook on high for an additional 10-15 minutes until thickened.
Once ready, shred or slice the chicken, then return it to the sauce, mixing well to coat.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley and sliced green onions.
