Equipment

Ingredients

2-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (8 thighs, 5-ounces each)
1 can (20 ounces) pineapple tidbits or chunks, drained
3/4 cup teriyaki sauce (I like Soy-Vay and Kikkoman Takumi brands)
1/4 cup chopped green onion (scallion)
2 tablespoons minute tapioca (for thickening)

Instructions

Ideal Slow Cooker Size: 4-Quart.
Coat the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker.
In a bowl, stir together the pineapple, teriyaki sauce, green onion and tapioca. Pour the mixture over the chicken.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, or until the chicken is fork tender.

Notes

Serving size: 1 chicken thigh + scant 1/2 cup sauce
