Delicious and easy!
My crockpot broke, so I didn't make this in a slow cooker. I just cooked up the chicken first then added everything else and let it simmer for an hour or so. Don't be in too much of a hurry. Let it simmer. I tasted it as it was getting warm and thought it was going to be terrible, too sweet! After it simmered, it really did taste so much better.
I highly suggest adding red onion (I love red onions) and the extra pineapple slice when you are serving. I don't like cilantro so I didn't buy any, but Kenny said he would have liked that as well.
My family ate it on buns last night. I just made it into a salad for lunch today and it was delicious.
The original post is here.
- 1 pound boneless chicken breasts
- 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice
- juice of one lime
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 or 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your heat preference)
- 8 whole wheat buns
- for serving, optional: pineapple rings, diced red onion, chopped cilantro
Place chicken into crock pot. Cover chicken with remaining ingredients, through the red pepper. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. Shred chicken and serve on buns; top with additional pineapple, red onion and/or cilantro.
