Dice the chicken, onion, and bell pepper into similar sized pieces.
Drain the pineapple chunks and place the juice in a separate bowl.
Add the chicken, onion, and pineapple chunks to the bowl of a slow cooker.
In the bowl with the pineapple juice, add the cornstarch and whisk until thoroughly combined.
Add the honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic.
Stir to combine.
Pour over the diced chicken mixture in the crockpot.
Cover and cook on high 2-3 hours or low 3-4.
During the last 30 minutes of cooking or 30 minutes before serving, add the red bell pepper and stir.
When finished cooking, serve and enjoy!

You can make this a lower-carb meal (lower is relative as this is made with pineapple and they are high in sugar) by serving over a bed of cauliflower rice.
Try to keep chicken chunks, veggies, and pineapple all the same size to ensure even cooking.
Bell peppers and pineapple tend to be the traditional pairings but you could also use snow peas, green beans, carrots, or broccoli.
If the sauce is too thick, thin out with chicken broth.
Running low on cook time? Pre-cut peppers and chicken and place in air-tight containers over night in the fridge. When ready to make, allow pepper and chicken to reach room temperature prior to throwing into the crockpot when you are ready to make!
