This was very good!! I used my homegrown Hawaiian white pineapple and used 3 chicken breasts. I now have 1 leftover for my lunch. Yummy!

Simple, easy recipe! Next time, I'm going to use hot salsa instead of mild, because I think the pineapple would still balance out the heat (but we do like spicy things around here!) Also, I agree with the other reviewer that you can actually drain everything (salsa, beans & pineapple) and still have plenty of liquid. Thanks for posting!

Super easy recipe for the crock. I used leftover fresh pineapple salsa that I had on hand instead of the canned and bone-in chicken pieces and it was great over a packet of yellow rice with some grated cheese on top. I wasn't sure how the pineapple would taste in it, but it really blended nicely and made the whole thing more tangy than sweet.

This was very easy to make. I used a combination of breasts and thighs (about 2.5 lbs). I drained the excess liquid off the beans and salsa and still had more than enough liquid. I might try adding two cans of beans the next time. The pineapple really makes this dish. I added some salt at the table.

This is definitely my kind of recipe. It took me less than five minutes to put together. I used a 24 ounce jar of mild sauce and an 8 ounce jar of extra hot sauce because that is what I had on hand. It had a little kick - we loved it! I served it over rice and tomorrow we are having the leftovers with tortillas. A word of caution - if you use six chicken breasts, your crock pot may boil over on the counter. I ended up taking out about a half a cup of liquid. Thanks Dancer for the recipe!
