Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in the bottom of a 4-6 quart slow cooker.
Step 2
Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic until the sugar dissolves.
Step 3
Combine ingredients: Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker. Add pineapple chunks and bell pepper strips, stirring gently to coat everything.
Step 4
Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until chicken is tender and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
Step 5
Thicken the sauce: About 30 minutes before serving, mix cornstarch with water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker, cover, and cook on HIGH for 20-30 minutes until sauce thickens.
Step 6
Serve: Use a slotted spoon to transfer chicken, pineapple, and peppers to serving plates. Spoon sauce over the top. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot with rice or noodles.
