Tender chicken smothered in a tropical glaze for a burst of pineapple flavor in every bite! Cook on low in Crock Pot 6-8 hours, that’s it! Done!

Ingredients

  • 2 cans sliced pineapple (Set aside 1/2 of the juice from 1 can of pineapple slices)
  • ¼ cup Soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 20 oz chicken breast tenders, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • ½ sweet onion, cut into quartered chucks as pictured
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • Cayenne pepper to taste, depending on how much spice you prefer
  • Rice ((optional))

Directions

  1. 1

    Lightly brown the chicken chunks in a little bit of vegetable oil. The chicken only needs to be lightly browned because it will continue to cook in the crock pot

  2. 2

    In a blender, combine 1 can of pineapple slices, 1/2 can of pineapple juice, brown sugar, 1/4 of the sweet onion chunks, and pineapple juice. Blend until pureed.

  3. 3

    Prepare your crock pot with non-stick spray

  4. 4

    Add the pineapple puree mixture to the crock pot

  5. 5

    Stir in soy sauce and flour until fully combined

  6. 6

    Add the lightly browned chicken and remaining 1/4 onion chunks over the pineapple mixture and stir

  7. 7

    Cook on low for 6-8 hours: *For the last hour or so of cooking, cut the pineapple slices into about 12 chunks and add it to the chicken*

  8. 8

    Serve over rice, or as desired.
