This Slow Cooker Sweet Shoyu Chicken is a flavorful and easy dish that combines the sweetness of pineapple juice and brown sugar with the savory umami of soy sauce. The slow cooking process ensures tender, juicy chicken infused with delicious Asian-inspired flavors.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions:

Put brown sugar, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, and pineapple juice in a bowl

Put the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and cover them with the sauce mix

Set the cooker to low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours

Remove the lid and cook the chicken until it is soft and fully cooked

Take the chicken out of the slow cooker when it's done cooking and shred it with two forks

Put away

To make a slurry, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl

Slowly add the slurry to the sauce and mix it well

Put the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and stir it around to coat it with the sauce that has thickened

Keep cooking on high for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce gets thicker

Put it on top of rice or noodles and add sliced green onions on top
