This slow cooker sesame garlic chicken reminds me of a teriyaki chicken dish that a local Hawaiian restaurant serves. But now when I have a craving, I can make this, and it’s a lot cheaper too! I like to serve this with jasmine rice, and a drizzle of Sriracha hot chili sauce (only if want to make it super spicy!).

      Would you recommend NOT putting some pineapple chunks in the recipe?

        You can, but the recipe will be a little watery. I think it will add good flavor though.

        I would only do 3.5 hours and check and stir once to make sure it’s not scorching on the edges.

      I love cooking with pineapple juice. I love the flavor it gives. It doesn’t taste like pineapple but adds the needed flavor. This looks so good. Thanks for sharing at Saturday Dishes.

      hey if i want to increase he quantity of the sauce, can i add some chicken broth in it? And if so, what will be the ratio of pineapple juice, brown sugar and soya sauce.

        I would personally just double all the sauce ingredients, including the cornstarch, to make more sauce. And just skip the broth. 🙂

      This looks so good! I found your blog on the Bloggy Moms March Blog Hop. I have been searching for good slow cooker recipes. I just got a new slow cooker recently and I would love to use it for more than just chili. Thanks!
