Hawaiian Chicken

By Marybeth Feutz 5 Comments

Is it fall? Is it summer? This sweet Hawaiian Chicken from Gooseberry Patch’s “Hometown Harvest” is perfect in your crockpot for this transition weather!

Start with 1 cup of chicken broth in a small bowl (I just used a measuring cup). Stir in 3 Tablespoons of cornstarch and set this aside for a few minutes.

In your crockpot, layer 3 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I love using chicken thighs in the crockpot instead of chicken breasts – they have a great flavor, and cook up so tender they just fall apart with a fork!

On top of the chicken, add one 20-ounce can of undrained crushed pineapple.

Then add 1 cup of packed brown sugar and a 1-ounce package of Italian salad dressing mix. (Don’t inhale directly over the crockpot – it made me sneeze for 5 minutes!)

add seasonings
Top it off with 1 diced onion and 1 diced bell pepper. (I used a green pepper because that’s what we had fresh from our garden, but a red pepper would look – and taste – beautiful in here, too!)

peppers and onions
Top it off with 1 Tablespoon of soy sauce and the chicken broth mixture. Stir everything gently. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours. Serve this sweet, fork-tender chicken over cooked rice. (Just pop some cooked rice out of your freezer for an even faster finish!)

    First you need to send me a list of things you are allergic to. That makes things a little bit harder. 😉

    […] recipe is re-vamped slightly from one I did way back a long time ago early in my blogging days. To be honest, the recipe is practically identical. But the photos are […]
