I couldn't just start a cooking blog and leave you hanging, now, could I? All of my facebook friends have already seen this recipe today. I'm going to go ahead and share it anyway. I love my crockpot! I'm normally a lazy cook. Anything that keeps me from standing for hours in the kitchen is a good thing in my book. I actually saw this recipe on facebook! It sounded delicious, so I had to try it.
I'm going to share two recipes with you. The first one is the recipe straight from fb. The second is my version, made using what I had on hand. My motto is "use what you've got!" I very seldom make a special trip to the grocery store just to buy one or two ingredients. This recipe was so tasty, Natalie cleaned her plate both for lunch and supper. My version of the recipe was enough for two meals for the two of us. If you have a large family, you will definitely have to adjust accordingly. Ok. You ready? Let's go!
Crock Pot Hawaiian Chicken: Facebook recipe
2 lbs boneless chicken, cut into chunks
1 can crushed pineapple in juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
-Pour all ingredients into crockpot and cook until done.
Crock Pot Hawaiian Yard Bird from Melissa's Kitchen
4 boneless chicken tenders, still frozen
1 can of sliced pears in juice
about 1/3 cup of brown sugar (or all that was left in the container)
5 condiment packets of soy sauce (left over from take out Chinese food.)
-Place frozen chicken in the crock pot.
-Pour pears, brown sugar, and soy sauce into blender. Pulse until the consistency of apple sauce. Pour over chicken.
-Cook on high for about 3 hours. It should be bubbly, brown, and falling apart!
This was truly amazing! It was so tender, so juicy, and so good. Not too sweet, not too salty. It was just right! I would also like to try it with canned peaches or mandarin oranges. Fresh mangoes would be amazing!!! Again...using what's on hand. Mix it up, make it your own. Most of all, enjoy it! Happy cooking!
