Pineapple Chicken

My sister has a crockpot cookbook that she uses often.
Well, she found a recipe for pineapple chicken & decided to try it.

I love making crockpot meals especially in the fall & winter time!
They all liked it & she had told me about it so, I decided to try it as well.

It's super simple!
This is all you need:
Chicken, a bottle of barbecue sauce & a can of pineapple.

put the chicken in, pour the barbecue sauce over it.


add the pineapple.


Cover on low for about six hours or high for 4 hours.
Now I cooked mine for 8 hours & it was too long, it was still good but the chicken was on the dryer side.
My family doesn't mind our chicken that way so it was good for us but if you like yours a little more on the moist side than I would say cook it for the 6 hours.



The chicken just fell apart, kind of like what barbecue pork does.
I made rice & put the chicken & pineapple over it than added some of the sauce to it.
My kids all scarfed it down!
The only thing I might add next time is a little brown sugar to maybe sweeten it up a bit, it was a tad tart because of the juice from the can of pineapple.
Other than that if your looking for a quick, easy meal to make than here you are!
