Granted today wasn't particularly hectic, and I got home at a reasonable hour, but I still can't tell you how happy I was to have dinner waiting for me.
Crock Pot, I. Love. You!
This recipe calls for four ingredients: chicken, BBQ sauce, onion, and pineapple. You could make this blindfolded, with one hand tied behind your back, while fending off hungry cats, and simultaneously posting on Facebook about how you're cooking blindfolded, with one hand tied behind your back, while fending off hungry cats and posting on Facebook that you're... well you get the idea.
You put everything in the crock pot, turn it on, and wait 4-6 hrs. Done! I put all the ingredients together ahead of time and froze it, but you really don't have to. Keep in mind that the 4-6 hours is assuming you're using frozen chicken. So if you use fresh chicken, you should probably reduce your cooking time to 2-3 hrs.
Ingredients (adapted from Six Sister's Stuff)
four large chicken breasts
one bottle BBQ sauce (the original recipe called for Archer Farms Hawiian BBQ sauce, but it was getting mixed reviews. I used Sweet Baby Ray's Original BBQ Sauce and it's a winner!)
one 20-ounce can pineapple chunks (undrained)
one large onion (chopped)
Directions
- Place chicken in crock pot, cover with pineapple and sauce.
- Cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-6 hours. Again, remember that this is for frozen chicken breasts so reduce the cooking time if using fresh.
- Cut or shred chicken and serve over rice.
You'll have enough for a large family, a couple meals, or mucho lunches.
