Description
This Slow Cooker Huli Huli Chicken recipe offers a delicious Hawaiian-inspired meal featuring tender chicken breasts slow-cooked in a sweet and tangy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- Sliced green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the brown sugar, pineapple juice, ketchup, soy sauce, chicken broth, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Mix well until the brown sugar is fully dissolved.
- Place the chicken breasts evenly in the slow cooker. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is fully covered.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker and set aside. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Stir this slurry into the sauce in the slow cooker.
- Increase the slow cooker temperature to high and cook for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to a glaze-like consistency.
- Slice or shred the chicken as preferred and return it to the thickened sauce. Serve hot over cooked rice and garnish with freshly sliced green onions.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables.
