Main Ingredients

  • 2 lb. (0.9 kg) chicken tenderloin chunks
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Gather and measure all the ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Combine: In a mixing bowl, stir together the pineapple juice, brown sugar, and soy sauce until the sugar is fully dissolved, creating a sweet and savory sauce.
  3. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Arrange the chicken tenderloin chunks evenly at the bottom of your Crockpot to ensure even cooking.
  4. Pour the Sauce: Pour the prepared pineapple mixture over the chicken, making sure all pieces are coated thoroughly for maximum flavor infusion.
  5. Cook: Set the Crockpot to low heat and cook for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and fully cooked through.
  6. Serve: Once cooking is complete, serve the chicken with the sauce over a bed of rice, enjoying the tropical and savory flavors.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for a few hours before cooking.
  • Use fresh pineapple juice for the best taste and natural sweetness.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last hour of cooking to allow the sauce to reduce.
