Equipment

Ingredients

6-8 chicken thighs skinless, boneless
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chicken broth
4 tsp garlic minced
1 Tbsp ginger minced
2 Tbsp honey
1/2 cup onion chopped
2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 cups fresh pineapple
green onions for garnish

Instructions

Trim excess fat from chicken.
Place chicken in crock pot.
In a bowl combine soy sauce, brown sugar, broth, garlic, ginger, honey and onion.
Pour mixture over chicken in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until chicken is cooked through and shreds easily with a fork.
Remove chicken from slow cooker, place on a baking sheet and shred into medium size pieces.
Remove 1/2 cup of liquid from crock pot and add in cornstarch. Stir to dissolve.
Add cornstarch mixture back into crock pot along with shredded chicken and stir.
Cook another 30 minutes to allow sauce to absorb into chicken and thicken a bit.
Serve with rice, chopped green onion and fresh pineapple.

Notes

- Serve over one of your favorite salads.

- Make a slider or sandwich with it using Hawaiian rolls, add some pineapple in too.
- You can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead but they do have a tendency to dry out quicker than chicken thighs so don't overcook them. Most slow cooker chicken recipes cook the chicken for too long and you end up with tough or rubbery chicken, it only needs about four hours on low.
