It’s about time for me to share another slow cooker recipe! It’s been a whole 11 days since I’ve posted one…man, time flies when you’re having fun:)
This recipe not only has a vegetable but a FRUIT included in it. Oooh, I love recipes where I can eat my fruits and veggies all in one.
It has a little bit of sweet going on with the pineapple and brown sugar but it also has a little bit of the salty too with the soy sauce and chicken broth.
This Slow Cooker Pineapple Chicken recipe is another one that you just throw everything in and let it do its thang while you’re doing your thang trying not to hurry it up because it smells so darn good.
I like to eat it over a big ‘ol plate of brown rice but I could totally just bowl it up and eat it without anything else added but then it would be Slow Cooker Pineapple Chicken Soup…yep, I like it!
This is a great combination of flavors anytime!

Boy does this bring back memories! My mom used to make a very similar dish on the stove top but I think she added celery and something else. This was about 40 some odd years ago and after reading your recipe, my taste buds went crazy. Loved it over rice with lots of chow mein noodles over the top……………
I’m gonna try it with the chow mein noodles! Sounds delicious!!
Don’t forget the celery next time! I think I’m coming to your house to eat from now on, ha ha!
love anything slow cooked as it means i can be EXTRA lazy.. this dish definitely brings back some childhood nostalgia!
I have made pineapple chicken in the slow cooker as well, just a little different. We serve it over rice as well.
I will Pin this to my Crockpot board to share with others. Stopping by from Merry Mondays.
