Slow Cooker Hawaiian Chicken with Pineapple
"Dinner that reminds me of dining outdoors in Hawaii is my kind of dinner especially if it's ridiculously easy because my slow cooker does the work. The recipe incorporates pineapple three ways along with juicy, moist, and tender chicken. There's pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, and pineapple jam along soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, lime juice, ketchup, brown sugar, sesame oil, chili-garlic sauce, ginger, cilantro, and green onions. So many layers of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors will have everyone asking for seconds. There's a slight kick from the Asian chili-garlic sauce and I used 2 heaping tablespoons but you can decrease the amount if you prefer milder flavors...."
