Ingredients

▢ 1 large bell pepper (any color) (cut into 1" pieces)
▢ 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut into 2" pieces)
▢ 1 20-ounce) can pineapple tidbits (drain, but reserve ¼ cup of the juice)
▢ 1 tablespoon corn starch (plus extra as an optional thickener at the end)
▢ ½ cup bottled teriyaki sauce (plus extra for serving and adjusting taste)

Instructions

Spray the inside of a 3 to 4-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray.
In a small bowl whisk cornstarch, ¼ cup of the teriyaki sauce, and pineapple juice together.
Layer bell pepper, chicken, and then 1 cup of pineapple tidbits in the pot.
Pour the sauce over the top. Cover and slow cooker on low for 3 to 4 hours or until the chicken is cooked through.
About 30 minutes before serving, add the remaining 1 cup of pineapple tidbits and the remaining ¼ cup of teriyaki sauce to the pot. (Note: if the sauce needs thickening, whisk another 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with the teriyaki sauce in a small bowl. Stir into the pot and cook on low with the lid off until the sauce is thickened.)
