Thicken the sauce: If you prefer a thicker glaze, remove the chicken after cooking and simmer the sauce on the stove with 1 teaspoon cornstarch.
Prep ahead: Assemble in the crockpot insert the night before for an even easier meal.
Why This Recipe Works
The slow-cooking method allows the chicken to absorb the tropical flavors of pineapple, soy, and teriyaki, resulting in tender, flavorful meat that melts in your mouth. The combination of sweet, salty, and umami notes makes this dish addictive, while the simplicity of the crockpot makes it incredibly convenient.
