Pineapple Chicken in The Crock-Pot

I noticed today, that I have not used the crock-pot in a few weeks. I am not sure how it happened, since I usually use it once a week.

I found this recipe a few weeks ago and thought I would share it with you. When I made it, I added onion, chunk pineapple and green peppers to the recipe even though it did not call for it.  If you are on a sugar-restricted diet, try substituting the brown sugar from Agave syrup of Splenda brown sugar.

The original recipe called for soy sauce. I mixed soy and teriyaki sauce, let the kids taste it before I poured it in the pot to see how they liked it. We all agreed that the mix of the two was better than straight soy sauce.

I mixed brown and white rice to serve with this; you can use either by itself or mix them like I did.

Ingredients:

20 ounce can of chunk pineapple in juice, drain and reserve juice

3 Tablespoons soy sauce

3 Tablespoons teriyaki sauce

½ cup packed brown sugar

1 small onion, chopped

1 small green pepper, chopped

4 or 5 boneless skinless chicken breasts

4 cups steamed rice

Directions:

Mix juice, sauces and sugar in bowl, stir until sugar is dissolved

Place chicken in the bottom of crock pot, add onion, green pepper and pineapple

Pour sugar sauce mix over chicken

Cook on low for 8 hours or high from 4 hours

Serve over hot steamed rice.
