Slow Cooker Chicken Pineapple Teriyaki

Ingredients

Chicken Breast, no skin, 2.5 breasts

Pineapple, fresh, 2 cup, diced 
Pineapple Juice, .5 cup 
Soy sauce , low sodium, .5 cup
Pepper, black, 1 tbsp 
Brown Sugar, .3 cup, unpacked 

Directions

Combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, black pepper, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir until combined. 

Place chicken in bottom of slow cooker, cover with pineapples and top with sauce.

Cook on low 6-8 hours. My chicken was frozen so I cooked for 8 hours. 

To thicken sauce, remove lid from slow cooker in the last hour of cooking. this will allow steam out and the sauce will thicken and condense slightly. If you prefer a thicker sauce, transfer sauce to pan and boil with flour or cornstarch until reduced to desired thickness.

Serve with stir fried veggies like bell pepper and sugar snap peas or over rice.

Bacon-Wrapped Pineapple

The Chinese buffet near us has these and they're yummy. I wanted to make them for the Super Bowl and found this recipe from Rachael Ray. They were so good!


Ingredients

1 pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into half-inch chunks, about 40 chunks

1 pound sliced lean bacon, about 20 slices

Directions

1. Pre-heat the oven to 425°F.
2. Cut bacon strips in half making 2 equal size pieces, about 4 inches each. Wrap each half-strip of bacon around a pineapple chunk, pierce it with a toothpick and place on a baking sheet. Bake until the bacon is crispy, about 15-20 minutes.
