Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (20 oz) Pineapple chunks (canned, with juice)
- 1 cup Coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 cups Cooked jasmine rice or coconut rice (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the Crock Pot in a single layer.
Step 2
Open the can of pineapple chunks and pour both the pineapple and its juice over the chicken.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Step 4
Pour the coconut milk mixture over the chicken and pineapple in the Crock Pot.
Step 5
Cover the Crock Pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Step 6
About 30 minutes before the cooking time is complete, remove 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid and whisk it with the cornstarch to create a slurry.
Step 7
Return the slurry to the Crock Pot, stirring it into the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 8
Once the chicken is cooked and the sauce has thickened, stir gently to coat the chicken in the tropical sauce.
Step 9
Serve warm over cooked jasmine or coconut rice, if desired.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving for a burst of freshness.
