Crock Pot Hula Chicken
"A tender pineapple chicken dish that is guaranteed to be gobbled up by kids and adults alike. You can also add peppers, they just aren't a big hit in our house. Toss everything in the crock pot (even frozen chicken breasts!) and come home to a complete meal that just needs to be served over rice. This was an entry in RSC #13. Enjoy!"

- 1⁄2 cup honey
- 1⁄2 cup soy sauce
- 1⁄4 cup brown sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried ginger
- 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon

- 1 (19 ounce) can pineapple chunks, reserve juice
- 2 cups baby carrots, cut in half
directions
- Pour honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, ginger, bouillon and pineapple juice in the crock pot and stir.
- Lay chicken on bottom of pot and cover with carrots and pineapple chunks.
- Cook in your crock pot for 4-6 hours on low or 3-4 on high. If you are using frozen chicken breast, just add another hour on low or 1/2 hour on high.
- I actually like the thinner sauce for this one. A reviewer suggested thickening the sauce, so I will include CarrolJ's recommendation - after the meat, carrots and pineapple are removed, add 1/2 cup of water mixed with 4 Tablespoons of cornstarch. Then cook the sauce until thickened and smooth.

This was outstanding. I made the recipe as-is, except I didn't think it was enough liquid, so I doubled the sauce, which ended up being too much, and boiled over. Yikes! I also cut an onion and orange bell pepper into bite-sized chunks, and added those to the crockpot as well. The leftovers were great as well. I served this with coconut rice, and the sauce from this dish was amazing with the rice. This is a keeper! -
We did not like this at all. -
This is an easy crockpot recipe that my family LOVED. It's a great change from the "everyday" chicken dishes~ DD was still talking about it this morning~ SHOCKING ~ ** I added a slurry of cornstarch and water to the juice about 2 hrs. before serving to thicken the sauce ** -
I thought this was a fantastic recipe! I love slow cooker chicken recipes that use white meat. This was very flavorful and beyond easy. I used frozen skinless chicken breasts but only three (they were big). Set to 7 hrs on low and it was perfect. A few other tweaks: Reduced the soy, skipped the bouillon and swapped in 1 Tbsp of red curry paste for a little kick. Topped with a bag of frozen veggies and that was that! The sauce was great as-is. -
Great chicken! Made with b/s chicken thighs and I did thicken the sauce at the end. Was a good combo of sweet and salty. Served mine and DHs over white rice and DSs over penne noodles (they don't eat rice). Made for Zaar Stars.

This was very yummy! It was a tad on the sweet side but I did use low sodium soy sauce and low sodium chicken broth instead of bouillion so maybe that took away some of the salt. Still this is an amazing recipe and went very well with my healthy diet. -
this turned out quite well considering I don't make a lot of crockpot recipes, this is one I will make again soon, I used 3 large minced garlic cloves in place of the garlic powder and also added in some cayenne pepper, I used skin on thighs that I browned firstly in oil and did thicken the sauce after cooking, thanks for sharing Niffie we enjoyed this with cooked rice, I made this for Kk's forum tag game

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
