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!
