Busy Busy Busy week! So much to do …so little time, and it’s Friday?! When did that happen? Oh my, I need to get more organized. So, it’s a crock pot week. I had errands to run today and it was the quickest thing to throw together.
This one is a great meal for anytime! It’s a everybody in the crockpot meal, with an Asian flair.
Oh, and while I am thinking about it, I am shamelessly plugging my POM Wonderful recipe. CLICK HERE to vote for my Pomegranate Citrus Pork Chops. If you want to know all the details. GO HERE.
Crockpot Pineapple Chicken
- 3-4 boneless skinless Chicken Breasts (about 2 lbs)
- 1 can pineapple in juice (tidbits, rings, chucks…it doesn’t matter)
- 1 medium onion
- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Cut up onion and place it in the bottom of the crockpot.
Place chicken on top of the onions.
Then dump the pineapple (juice and all) on top of the chicken.
Then add the soy sauce and the chicken broth.
Put the lid on and cook on High for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
There will be plenty of sauce in the crockpot to serve with the chicken!
Serve over rice, and with veggies.
Here is an idea!
Cut up chicken after cooked. Mix with steamed stir fry veggies. Place both over rice, and top with sauce from the crockpot. Makes your own homemade rice bowls that are so yummy, and less calories than the store bought ones!
This meal is naturally Gluten and Dairy Free!
The Meal Deal
I am doing this bits and pieces, because that is how I cook.
The chicken breasts were on sale at Publix last week for $1.79/lb. They are also on sale at Winn Dixie this week BOGO at $4.00/lb, so that makes them $2.00/lb when you buy 2 packs. Chicken breast freeze well, and there is no reason you shouldn’t stock up when they go on sale like this.
The pineapple was in my pantry. I bought it when it was BOGO a couple weeks ago.
The Veggies are the Steamfresh asian mix. I got them free when I purchased the meal deal at Winn-Dixie this week.
Rice is a staple at my house. I buy a huge bag that lasts forever! It costs us pennies to serve rice with a meal.
The Chicken broth has been on sale a lot with the Holidays. I purchased this very inexpensively right before Thanksgiving.
So, While I can’t give you an exact price. You can see how cheap and easy it can be to pull a meal together when you shop the current sale and stockpile your groceries.

Thanks for the GREAT idea. I have been ill and to have a fabulous meal in a crock pot saved me today. Thanks!
So yummy! I had to work this morning. Set the ingredients out for my husband to throw in the crockpot, went to my daughter’s gymnastics state meet, came home and threw some rice and broccoli and carrots in with it…delicious! Thanks for sharing!

Oh yum….this looks soooo good! I needed a recipe to use all the Dole pineapple I bought. I will be trying this for sure!!
Tried this recipe….easy and *very* good. I embellished it by adding apple slices I cooked in a skillet with a tablespoon of butter and a few tablespoons of brown sugar. Cooked the apples for about 5-10 mins and then added those cooked apples to the chicken when serving. You can likely add the apples to the slow cooker but I didn’t want them to overcook to mush so I did them separately at the last min.
You should post this to Crock Pot Wednesday if you like. It sounds delicious.
Ooh, this looks great! I posted a pineapple ham recipe, but never though to try pineapple with chicken. Looks delicious!

Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

Thinking of making this tomorrow with pork chops. Think it will work. Lots of flavors that would compliment the pork. What do you think?
