1 1/2 pounds boneless and skinless chicken breasts, about 4 pieces cut into 2-inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, cored and seeded, sliced into 1-inch strips
20 ounces pineapple chunks, canned in natural juice
2 tablespoons tamari or Bragg Liquid Aminos
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons ginger, grated
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot

Pour juice from canned pineapple chunks into a small mixing bowl. Add Bragg Liquid Aminos (or soy sauce), garlic, ginger, and honey, and whisk to combine. Add cornstarch and stir until combined.
Place chicken in the slow cooker, and add pineapple chunks. Pour pineapple mixture over chicken, cover, and cook on low for 4-5 hours. Add bell peppers in the last 15 minutes of cook time. Serve chicken over a bed of quinoa or brown rice.

We recommend using a slow cooker that holds at least 4 quarts.
