- 2 lbs. skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- cooking spray
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 2 Tbsp. light brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 2 to 3 Tbsp. water
- 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
- 3 cups hot cooked rice
- 2 Tbsp. sliced green onions
Directions:
- Sprinkle chicken with pepper and salt. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat.
- Add chicken, cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Transfer chicken to a 4 quart electric slow cooker coated with cooking spray.
