Pineapple & Soy Sauce Chicken


Pineapple Soy Sauce Chicken

Ingredients
two boneless, skinless chicken breasts
can of pineapple juice (a little less than a cup)
1/2 cup of soy sauce
1/3 cup of brown sugar

Equipment
slow cooker

Instructions
Put it all in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours (6 for fresh, 8 for frozen).

Yields
two servings

Total time
6-8 hours (negligible prep time)

Cleanup rating 4/5
Sticky juices in a slow cooker? Yuck. But there aren't little pieces of things to scrape off the slow cooker, so that's a plus.

Flavor rating 5/10
It was okay. The chicken was a little dry because it had to cook longer than was ideal due to our work/school schedules yesterday, and I think the sauce needed something. Maybe a little orange? I don't know. But it was edible and we ate it. Adding some of the sauce to the rice made it a little better.

Difficulty rating 1/10
You saw the instructions section, right? Stupid easy.

Adjustability: low
If you change this much, it will be a different recipe. But like I said, it needs something to fix it.

Make it with...
We had white rice with it, which went really well. I planned on sauteeing some bell pepper to add a veggie to the mix but I was hungry when I got home so we just ate without the veggie.

Kitchenventory
Everything in this recipe belongs in my kitchenventory. Chicken breasts are a common staple of our diet, soy sauce and brown sugar are always in the cabinet, and we almost always have pineapple juice on hand for mixing drinks.
