Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they're evenly sized for consistent cooking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and optional grated ginger. Whisk until the brown sugar dissolves.
  3. Place the chicken pieces in the Crockpot and drizzle the sauce over them. Add the pineapple chunks on top.
  4. Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. If desired, create a cornstarch slurry and mix it into the Crockpot during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking on high for a thicker sauce.
  6. Once cooked, shred the chicken or serve it whole with the sauce and garnish with green onions or herbs.
