Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup pineapple salsa (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooked rice, for serving
- Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple salsa, pineapple chunks (with juice if using canned), honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Stir until well combined.
- Pour the pineapple salsa mixture over the chicken breasts in the crock pot, making sure to coat the chicken evenly.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours or on high heat for 2-3 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
