Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken breasts
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, mix together the teriyaki sauce, pineapple chunks, sliced bell pepper, sliced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir until combined.
