Crock-Pot Sweet Hawaiian Chicken.
Sweet Hawaiian Chicken slow cooked in the crock-pot. Brown sugar, sweet pineapple juice and soy sauce combine to make a sweet sauce that infuses in the chicken. If you use chicken breasts, you can serve the breasts whole or slice them before serving. This recipe also makes a great shredded chicken that is tasty on a salad.
Serve the chicken over white or brown rice or on a bed of fresh leafy greens with a little of the juices on top as a dressing.
Remember that chicken needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Chicken needs to be cooked to this temperature and have no pink meat. And even in a slow cooker, chicken can be cooked too long and will come out dry and tough. Each slow cooker cooks at a different temperature and it is important to know how you slow cooker cooks. I have an older slow cooker that cooks at a lower temperature then my newer 6qt slow cooker.
