This comes from my 365 Easy Slow Cooker Recipes, it's very similiar to another one i found here, but there's a few differences

Provided by ShortieNJ

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 5h5m

Yield 4-6 , 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
1 (15 ounce) can pineapple slices (with juice)
1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ginger (ground)
1/4 cup cornstarch
salt
cooked rice (to serve with)

  • combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, lemon juice, ginger, and cornstarch, stir until cornstarch mixes with liquids, pour over chicken.
  • cover, cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2 1/2-3 hours.

Tips:

  • Use a good-quality teriyaki sauce. This is the key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use one that you like the taste of.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so cook them just until they are cooked through.
  • Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple has a much better flavor than canned pineapple.
  • Grill the pineapple slices before adding them to the sandwiches. This will give them a nice caramelized flavor.
  • Serve the sandwiches on Hawaiian rolls. These rolls are soft and fluffy, and they perfectly complement the other flavors in the sandwich.

Conclusion:

These Hawaiian chicken sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for a backyard barbecue or a weeknight dinner. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is sure to please everyone at the table.
