Sassy Tropical Slow Cooker Chicken
|
4 |
Boneless/skinless chicken breasts |
|
1 tsp. |
Salt |
|
1 can (20 oz.) |
Dole pineapple chunks or slices, drained (reserve juice). |
|
1 clove |
Garlic (minced) |
|
1 tbsp. |
Cornstarch |
|
2 tsp. |
Worcestershire sauce |
|
2 tsp. |
Mustard |
|
2 tsp. |
Lemon juice |
|
2 tsp. |
Lime juice |
|
1 tsp. |
Red pepper flakes (optional) |
|
1 tsp. |
Rosemary |
DIRECTIONS
|
Brown chicken breasts in a skillet until lightly browned. (I usually eliminate this step and just put the chicken breasts directly into the crock-pot). |
|
Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Combine juice with garlic, cornstarch, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, rosemary, lemon juice, lime juice and red pepper flakes (optional) in a small bowl. Pour over chicken in the crock-pot. |
|
Cover, and cook 6-8 hours on Low (make sure to check the chicken periodically – cooking times do vary depending on your crock-pot). |
| Serve with Jasmine Rice or Coconut Rice and a side of vegetables. You can either stir pineapple chunks into the sauce in the crock-pot before serving, or use them as garnish after the food has been plated. If you’re using pineapple slices, use them as garnish rather than adding them to the sauce. |

You know what? That looks really really good. I never thought of
putting chicken in the crockpot. And I didn’t even know they made
Coconut Rice. Plus, I love pineapple and so does Junior. Thanks for
the great suggestion.
Being a dessert girl, I am going to have to try the pineapple coffee cake. Sounds as delicious as possible without having chocolate in it.
That recipe sounds great! I’m all about finding new slow cooker recipes!
I posted one today too!

Your recipe has so many extra touches in it that really sounds yummy. I like the shrimp curry
That does sound wonderful. I too love to cook with fruit. I really like pineapple and apricots. I also like my crockpot. I make chicken, beef and even lasagna.
the beet salad and pineapple lemonade sounds really good, I love fruit too!
Awesome!
They all look good, but that pineapple sweet and sour recipe looks good!
The Asian Mandarin Salad looks real good

I love sweet and sour chicken, never thought about making it myself… LOL ok, I’m not much of a cook but eat lots of pineapple. It’s good for cholesterol problems.
I love seafood, and Shrimp Curry sounds like it would be amazing!
Here’s part of my essay:
“Ever since I was little, my mom made the most amazing pineapple upside down cake. It’s such a popular recipe that it’s always requested at family functions. The main ingredient was, you guessed it, Dole Pineapple Slices…”
