Ingredients

Scale

  • ½ pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

  • 1 teaspoon tomato paste

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon brown sugar

  • Black pepper, to taste

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced

  • 1 (8-oz) can pineapple chunks with juice

  • Scallions, for garnish (optional)

  • Rice, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1️⃣ Mix the Sauce
Add soy sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, brown sugar, and black pepper to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.

2️⃣ Add Chicken & Veggies
Add the cubed chicken, diced red bell pepper, and pineapple chunks with the juice. Stir gently to coat everything.

3️⃣ Slow Cook
Cover and cook on Low for 4–6 hours or High for 2–3 hours, until chicken is fully cooked and tender.

4️⃣ Adjust Seasoning (Optional)
30 minutes before serving, taste the sauce and adjust by adding a bit more soy sauce or brown sugar if needed.

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy
Garnish with sliced scallions and serve over warm rice for a complete meal!

Notes

  • Thicken the sauce: Stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water) during the last 20 minutes if you want a thicker glaze-style sauce.

  • Go spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a small squirt of sriracha.

  • Flavor boost: A splash of pineapple juice or a squeeze of fresh lime brightens things up beautifully.

  • Make it a meal: Add extra veggies like carrots, snap peas, or onion for more color and nutrients.
