What's for dinner 10/06/10: Crockpot Tropical Chicken, rice & green & yellow wax beans

So for tonight's Feingold friendly dinner we had sweet chicken with pineapple, ginger & teriyaki sauce with rice and green and yellow wax beans...

Tropical Chicken

Serves 6-8

Ingredients:

4-6 skinless boneless chicken breast

1 onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings

2 8oz cans of pineapple chunks (I actually just used a 20 oz can)

6 Tbsp approved teriyaki sauce

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tsp grated fresh ginger

Directions:

Coat your crockpot with cooking spray or use a reynolds crockpot liner (I think these are the best invention).  Place the 1st 3 ingredients in the crockpot.

In a small bowl combine the next 3 ingredients and mix well.  Pour over the chicken.

Cook for 8-10 hours (but my experience says that is too long for chicken and I only cook for about 6 hours)

Serve with rice, if desired but if shred it like I do it would do good on a sweet roll for sandwiches I think

VERDICT: it was good and the kids ate it all up...just sweet enough to get that tropical taste with the pineapple and ginger, next time I think i would add the pineapple maybe the last 2 hours or so, they were cooked a little too long for my taste.
