Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 (20-ounce) can pineapple chunks with juice
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- Sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, honey, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
- Add chicken pieces and diced red bell pepper to the crockpot.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and stir to coat evenly.
- Drain pineapple chunks, reserving the juice, and add pineapple to the crockpot.
- In a small bowl, mix reserved pineapple juice, chicken broth, and cornstarch until smooth.

Notes
Do not overcook, as pineapple can overly tenderize the chicken. Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels.
