Cuisine: Hawaiian

For the Chicken:

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup crushed pineapple
3 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup apricot jam
½ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
½ cup hoisin sauce
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (or 1 tablespoon Wondra flour)
Hot cooked rice (for serving, optional)
Chopped green onions (for garnish, optional)
Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken. Begin by placing the 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Step 2: Mix the Sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken broth, pineapple juice, crushed pineapple, minced garlic, salt, apricot jam, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3: Pour the Sauce Over the Chicken. Once your sauce is fully combined, pour it evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Step 4: Set the Slow Cooker. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Step 5: Thicken the Sauce. About 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.
Step 6: Serve and Garnish. Once the chicken is cooked, shred it with two forks and serve it over hot cooked rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
