WELCOME

Welcome to this slow cooker/crockpot blog. I believe slow cookers are the best thing to happen to modern day cooks. I used mine often when I worked outside the home and continue to do so even in retirement. It is so nice to put food on and forget about it. Slow cookers also allow us to cook many things we would normally have to use the oven for; what a relief in hot Texas weather! Some of these recipes are mine, many are ones I have collected over the years.

HULA CHICKEN

This is a Betty Crocker recipe.

1
cup pineapple juice
1/3
cup soy sauce
1/2
cup ketchup
1
tablespoon rice vinegar
1/3
cup packed brown sugar
2
cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped or grated
1
tablespoon grated gingerroot
1
to 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
2
lb boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1
can (16 oz) crushed or diced pineapple, drained, juice reserve 

In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, mix pineapple juice, soy sauce, ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, gingerroot and Sriracha sauce. Add chicken and crushed pineapple.
    Cover and cook on Low heat setting 6 to 8 hours or High heat setting 4 to 6 hours. Once chicken is cooked through and sauce thickened, remove chicken; shred with 2 forks. Return chicken to sauce, and turn heat to High. Cook, uncovered, 25 to 30 minutes or until sauce is thickened. If sauce gets too thick, add the reserved pineapple juice from the can.


    Serve warm over a bed of rice with a side of pineapple salsa, if desired, and chopped fresh cilantro.
