Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by chopping your boneless, skinless chicken thighs into large pieces for easy cooking.
In your crockpot, add the chopped chicken pieces along with the pineapple chunks, soy sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic.
Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
When the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks.
Serve the Sweet Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken over fluffy rice or in tacos, garnished with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro.
