Hawaiian Chicky for the Crockpot

GinaBean1018's Note:

This recipe is for a Crockpot. It's sweet and smokey, inexpensive and really easy! I keep lots of the ingrediants in the house, b/c in a pinch, it works great! My husband LOVES this recipe and he can be hard to please b/c he gets really sick of chicken. I load this up in the am before I leave for work and come home at 6 to a house smelling amazing!!! I hope you try this one...And if you cook extra chicken, it tastes amazing on a nice salad for the lunch the next day!

• Total Time: 4 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 4 hrs

Ingredients:

Serves: 2

Yield: 3.0 cups

• 3 chicken breasts (I get the flash frozen ones so I can only cook what I need)
• 1 cup diced pineapple (for a more thick sauce, drain the fruit, but I usually use the juice becauce it really adds a sweet )
• 2 cups frozen sliced red and green peppers (Again, I get the frozen bags and use only the amount needed BUT fresh is fine too)
• 1/2 cup frozen chopped onion, however fresh is fine
• 2 cups of smokey style honey barbecue sauce
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 pinch salt and pepper
• 1 pinch of minced garlic

Directions:

1. Put all the ingredients in the crockpot and set on either low for 8 hours or on high for about 4 or 5 hours-Or as long as it takes for the chicken to be totally cooked. Once the chicken is cooked, serve over a bed of brown rice, with the sauce, veggies and fruit along side!

Unfortunately turned out inedible due to dryness, cooked on a low setting, covered, for about 8 or so hours. Used plenty of BBQ sauce, honey, pineapple & juice etc. Perhaps the chicken breasts were too small - I recommend you use the largest you can find and keep the cooking time as short as possible.

I threw this in the crock pot before I left the house today and when I got home--the whole house smelled wonderful! I cooked it for about 4 hours on high then turned down to low for about another hour and a half. The chicken absorbs the sauce and flavors really well. I think next time I will use more pineapple.
