We tried this recipe on a hot July evening after Jeremy had been doing yard work for a majority of the day. After I asked if it was Bookworthy, he even commented that it was a perfect crock pot summer meal, because it was on the lighter side. By "lighter side", he means he didn't feel stuffed, heavy, & full after eating it, even after working in the heat all day! On the author's website, she notes that this could also be a freezer meal. Since the meal was a success tonight, I'll definitely be putting a patch in the freezer for the upcoming fall (read: crazy busy) months!
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 tsp Woozy sauce (I added more)
- 1 tsp mustard
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple with juice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 can pineapple chunks
- Mix all ingredients together, except the can of pineapple chunks. I mix everything, then pour it over the chicken
- Cook slow cooker 4-6 hours. I used my 5 qt crock and cooked for 4.5 hrs OR *Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
- During the last 20 minutes of cooking time, dump in 1 can of pineapple chunks, without the juice.
- Serve over rice I cooked 2 cups; this was plenty to feed my family of 4 and looks like we'll be having it for leftovers as well.
Freezing Directions:
Place chicken in freezer bag. Pour sauce mixture over chicken and freeze!
Voila! This is such a simple recipe!
