Creating Sweet Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, if desired, and place them in the crockpot.
2. Mix Sauces: In a bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and sesame oil until smooth.
3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the crockpot.
4. Add Pineapple: Stir in the pineapple chunks and sliced bell pepper evenly.
5. Cover and Cook: Secure the lid on the crockpot and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours.
6. Shred Chicken: When the chicken is fully cooked and tender, use two forks to shred it directly in the crockpot, mixing it with the sauce.
7. Taste and Adjust: Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly. If you like it sweeter, add a touch more brown sugar.
8. Serve: Spoon the Sweet Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken over cooked rice or alongside a fresh salad.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped green onions on top for an added touch of flavor and color.
