We tried this for dinner last night. I loved how easy to prepare it was, and we had everything on hand - which made it very convenient. I cooked in my slow cooker for just about 5 hours and served over rice. It was good, but I think next time I will reduce the amount of ground ginger a little due to my family's tastes. I only used 3 chicken breasts, and it still didn't seem like there was quite as much sauce for us as we would have liked. We'll add it in as an idea to use occasionally for something different. Thanks for posting this convenient option so we could try something different!

I used pineapple chunks instead of slices, and it turned out great. Follow the instructions as given, but increase the ground ginger to 1/2 teaspoon. The ginger and pineapple are delicious together. Our package of 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves weighed 2.87 lbs, or about 46 oz. Cooked on HIGH for 3 hours in the slow cooker, Hawaiian Chicken was delicious with hot rice and a mixed salad. I would definitely make this again.

I often do crock pot chicken with whole berry cranberry sauce so this recipe was a nice change of pace from that! Easy to put together, as well as making a very tasty main dish when served over a combo of brown rice & peas! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted orphans in the current Pick A Chef]
