Hawaiian Heaven

So... I found a recipe I *really* wanted to try. Turns out, most of the ingredients were not in my pantry.

It's the end of the month and the funds are low... no running out for special ingredients this late in the game!

So I made up my own version, and it's quite tasty.


In the crock pot, place:

Frozen chicken pieces (I like thighs right now. Especially for the crock pot. Chicken breasts seem to dry out too much for my liking.) I have a nice size family, so I put 2 pieces per person at least. Usually more so I have leftovers for the kids lunches.

Dump in one full can of pineapple chunks.

3/4 cup brown sugar.

1 small, diced onion.

1/4 cup lime juice.

A sprinkle of salt (kosher, please!)

Turn on low for the rest of the day and serve over rice. (We use brown rice)

I really enjoyed this. It did have a lot of juice, so I might try omitting the juice from the pineapple next time...

I can also see myself adding to this recipe. Using the chicken as part of Hawaiian Haystacks or something... it would be really good with those crunchy noodles! ohhhh yeah baby! I'm doing that next time!!!
