What Happens When You Combine 5 Ingredients in your Crock Pot And Leave It? Magic.
This delicious and easy to make in the crock pot, this Hawaiian BBQ Chicken combines the rich flavor of barbecue sauce with sweet pineapple! It is great that you can just toss everything in the Crockpot and walk away because not only do you have a wonderful meal, the mess is pretty easy to deal with. As much as I love being able to put rice in the steamer, sometimes I still need something a little more portable. Wrap a thin layer of rice, topped with this and then a fistful of shredded lettuce into a tortilla and HELLO.. or should I say Aloha to an amazing lunch on the go!
