Slow Cooker Chicken with Pineapple on Turmeric Honey Rice

February 5, 2020

Winter is the perfect time to break out the slow cooker. I will be the first one to admit that I don’t use mine as often as I could. I do love the ability to put the ingredients in, turn it on and then forget about it until dinner time. I have used it in the past to make applesauce in the summer – it’s a great vehicle when you need to cook something down. If I didn’t make my homemade ketchup in such a large volume it would probably be great for that! I was going to be baking today but I was in the mood for a chicken dinner so I decided to break out the slow cooker and let it take care of the main meal for me. I looked through some of my cookbooks and found one for slow cooker chicken with pineapple.

How Was the Slow Cooker Chicken?

I have to admit I was surprised at how tasty this was. The chicken was deliciously moist and it had the flavors of the pineapple and pepper infused into it. The cinnamon and 5 spice powder added a lovely background and the crushed red pepper provided a wonderful bit of heat at the end.

I made the meal with two chicken breasts and served with the turmeric honey rice and a farm salad of homegrown cucumber, tomato and cantaloupe it made enough to feed us for two nights. The rice is a delicious dish I have made before and it can complement many different meats or seafood like salmon.
