Just a note: This recipe originally appeared as a guest post on Memories by the Mile. I have now posted the recipe here as well for archiving purposes. The recipe is below my original teaser post.
Today I am posting over at Wanda Ann’s blog, Memories By The Mile. You will find me there the 2nd Thursday of every month!
School is winding down and we are getting primed for summer! I am looking forward to the slower pace of the summer and lots of barbecues and picnics.
Early summer is my absolute favorite time of year, because the weather is warm (but not too hot!), the mosquitos are not out in droves quite yet, and we can be comfortable in the house without any climate control for a while (cheaper utility bills, woohoo!)
This recipe was actually suggested to me by a friend of mine on Facebook. I was struggling to complete my meal plan for the week, and I posted that as my status, because I thought it was pretty amusing that someone with a recipe blog couldn’t come up with a few recipes for the coming week!
He responded with two easy recipe suggestions, both of which I wrote down so we could try them out. I have made this one a couple of times now, and I will be making it again!

August 22, 2015 at 9:33 amI’m going to have to try this! I made some pineapple chicken for my husband last week and he loved it, but I’d like to have something that I can stick in the crock pot and forget about!
Stopping by from Sharefest!

March 19, 2016 at 4:27 pmso only use 1/4 of the juice, not all??
Kristin King
March 21, 2016 at 6:42 pmYes, just 1/4 cup of the juice is all you need. 🙂

March 23, 2016 at 3:50 pmHi Kristin, A great sale on boneless, skinless chicken breast. Can I use them instead of chicken thighs? Also can I double the recipe, how does this affect the time??
Kristin King
March 24, 2016 at 7:03 amDefinitely you can use this with chicken breast! I have not doubled the recipe before, but I am guessing you would probably cook this for about the same time, maybe make it 7-8 hours. Just check the chicken to make sure it is done! I hope you like it! 🙂
