hawaiian bbq chicken

Slow Cooker Challenge Week 2012

I was very nervous to join in the Slow Cooker Challenge week. I have never really used a slow cooker/crockpot much. I have made chicken with garlic/onions and chili but not for 5 days in row! I decided to take the plunge and make something that a friend had made via Pinterest-Hawaiian BBQ Chicken.

I went to the store this morning and gathered my items for the weeks challenge as best I could. The one thing I could not find was the Hawaiian BBQ sauce. There was one brand of it, but the second ingredient was High Fructose corn syrup, and I just couldn’t buy it. The one recommended in the recipe was the one from Target & Archer Farms, but I wasn’t going to Target. I decided to try another route and went with the Soy Vay Island Teriyaki. Sure, it wasn’t the Hawaiian BBQ sauce, but it had the pineapple effect. I am being brave here.

The original recipe was from Six Sisters Stuff and is called Crock Pot Hawaiian BBQ Chicken

My adapted recipe for Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken

3-4 chicken breasts
20 ounces of Pineapple chunks, drained
Soy Vay Island Teriyaki Sauce.
cooking spray-I used olive oil spray
your favorite crockpot
brown rice from Trader Joe’s (frozen)

Directions:

spray crockpot with olive oil spray
pour some of the Island Teriyaki to cover the bottom of the crockpot
place chicken breasts on top of sauce
cover with more Island Teriyaki
dump pineapple chunks on chicken etc

cook on high 2-3 hours or low for 4 -5 hours.

My crockpot cooks fast so I cooked mine on high for an hour then turned to warm for 2 hours and the pineapple was a golden brown on some of them. Then I added some brown rice from Trader Joes that is frozen. Totally love it! Quick and easy to fix. 4 minutes in the microwave for yummy brown rice.

Some changes for next time:
