Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken

I was a huge fan of this meal!  Mmm mm mm.  Not exactly health food, but so delish, and easy to make!!  My Ninja crockpot/stove/oven made this a one pot meal.

• 4 Chicken Thighs (I used 6 chicken breasts)
• 2 Cups pineapple, cut into 1" chunks (I used a can of pineapple, but I bet fresh would be divine!)
• 1 yellow onion, cut into 1" chunks
• 3 TBS honey
• 2 TBS soy sauce (or Tamari Sauce if GF)
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar (I used light)
• 1 TBS grated ginger
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tsp sesame seeds for garnish
• 1 TBS cornstarch
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1" chunks
• parsley for garnish

1. In a medium skillet, brown chicken in oil on both sides for 3-5 minutes on high heat.  
2. Add the pineapple and onion to the bottom of the slow cooker.  
3. Mix the honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, grated ginger, and garlic into the slow cooker.  Top it with the chicken.  Cook on low for 5 hours or high for 3 hours.  
4. Add the cornstarch and a TBS of water.  Mix and add to the slow cooker.  Add the bell peppers and let it cook an additional 30 minutes.  (This is a great time to start your rice!)
5. Serve with parsley and sesame seeds for garnish, if desired.
