2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (or breasts) (cut into 1-inch cubes)
1 20-ounce can pineapple chunks in natural juice (not syrup)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Lightly coat a 5-quart or larger slow cooker with baking spray and arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer on top. Drain the pineapple juice from the can into a large liquid measuring cup or mixing bowl. Whisk in the cornstarch. Once smooth, stir in the soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Pour over the chicken. Add the pineapple chunks and red pepper.
