Looking for a quick and easy meal you can prepare the night before? Or even a couple weeks in advance and stick in the freezer? This is the recipe for you! Combine the ingredients ahead of time and pull them out when you’re ready for them. Simple, quick, and easy!

CROCK POT HAWAIIAN CHICKEN

The “in-bag” ingredients should be added to a gallon freezer bag, then pop in the freezer! Stick the bag in the refrigerator the night before you want it, then drop the contents of the bag in the crock pot in the a.m. This will take you all of one minute!

Hawaiian ChickenIn-Bag Ingredients: 

  • 1-1.5 pounds of chicken breast or chicken breast tenders
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup vinegar
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2-3 tbs soy sauce
  • 1/2 can of large pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup of pineapple juice (from can)
  • 2 chopped bell peppers

Directions: 

Add in-bag ingredients to the crock pot.  Cook on low for 6-7 hours.  Remove about 1 cup of the liquid, add to saucepan with a tablespoon of corn starch, and bring to a boil while stirring.  Add additional sugar if it isn’t sweet enough for you! Put “gravy” back into crock pot and stir well.  Shred and serve over rice.
