How to make Crock Pot Pineapple Chicken
This Crock Pot Pineapple Chicken recipe is a dump and go recipes. Dump everything into the crock pot and go!
As usual I used my favorite 6 quart crock pot. I've found that the 6 quart crock pot is the perfect crock pot size.
Because it is oval and 4 boneless chicken breast fit perfectly in one layer across the bottom you don't have to worry about losing heat when you open the crock pot to move the chicken breasts around to make sure all of the chicken breast cooks evenly.
I usually flip the chicken breasts once halfway through the cooking time and they turn out perfect every time.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 can pineapple bits
- 2 large minced garlic cloves (optional)
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch (optional)
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 2 ½ pounds
Directions
- Turn the crock pot on high.
- Mix the brown sugar, pineapple bits, minced garlic, soy sauce, and cornstarch together in the 6-quart crock pot.
- Add the boneless chicken breast to the crock pot. Flip them over to cover with the sauce ingredients.
- Use a spoon to spoon some of the pineapples on top of the chicken breasts.
- Put the lid on and cook 4 hours high or until the chicken is cooked thoroughly. Serve over a bed of rice.
I served the Crock Pot Pineapple Chicken over a bed of rice.
You could also pull the chicken apart and make Pineapple Chicken Nachos, Pineapple Chicken Quesadillas, or even Pineapple Chicken Tacos.
