Aloha!

If you read my other blog, then you know it's been a crazy month.  Cooking has not been at the top of my list.  But on Wednesday, I needed a good super easy meal, because that afternoon, we took the Daisies on their long-awaited field trip to learn about horses at Red Gate Farm, and I knew there would be no time to cook.  So, it was the perfect time to try a new recipe that has been going around Pinterest.  This recipe can be found on so many different sites that I don't know the original source.  All you have to do is Google "Crock Pot Hawaiian Chicken," and you'll find many many links.  Maybe even a link to this blog!

Three ingredients.  That's it.  Five minutes, and you're done.

In your slow cooker, put some chicken breasts (I used 6 Wegman's Organic boneless/skinless chicken breasts), one bottle of BBQ sauce (The original recipe calls for Archer Farms Hawaiian Barbecue Sauce from Target, but I used Wegman's Brown Sugar Barbecue Sauce), and one can of pineapple chunks (without the juice) (I just cut up some fresh pineapple into chunks and used that).  Cook it all on low for 6 hours.

While you're waiting, you can go ride a horse:

And when you get home, shred the chicken with a fork and serve it with some rice, like this:

Now, this chicken was very sweet.  Daphne loved it.  Kevin and I liked it, but thought it needed something.  Kev thought it needed some kind of vegetable. Meh.  Personally, I was thinking something more like  BACON might be just the thing to compliment all that sweetness and add some crunch.  The bottom line is, this is not the VERY best thing you will ever eat, but it is easy and pretty good, and if your kids are anything like ours, they will probably love you more for letting them eat this for dinner.
