Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup onions, chopped
  • 1 cup red bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 (6 oz.) can unsweetened pineapple juice (¾ cup)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
  • 1½ tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl (microwave safe) cook onions and peppers in microwave for 2 minutes, to soften.
  • To the bowl of cooked onions and peppers, stir in pineapple juice, brown sugar or honey, soy sauce and garlic. Mix well.
  • Place chicken thighs into crock-pot. Stir in pineapple juice/veggie mixture. Top with pineapple chunks with juice. Cover and cook on low heat for about 4 hours or high heat 1-½ -2 hours. You can baste during cooking time, if desired. Cook time varies depending on your crock-pot.
  • Once chicken is cooked: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons water and cornstarch, to dissolve. In the crock-pot, stir dissolved cornstarch into sauce of cooked chicken. Cover and cook on high heat for an additional 30 minutes, or until sauce is thickened a bit. Or, remove sauce from crock-pot and add to a small pot. Stir in dissolved cornstarch. Simmer until a little thickened. Stir often. Add sauce back to chicken.
