Low-Calorie Slow Cooker Pineapple Chicken Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This slow cooker pineapple chicken recipe results in a moist and tender chicken that is both a bit sweet and a bit savory. Note that a crock-pot is a just a particular brand of slow cooker, so you can prepare this recipe in any slow cooker that is large enough to accommodate the below recipe. The ingredients and the method are both quite simple, so it makes for a no-stress weeknight meal, made even better because you can toss all of the ingredients into the slow cooker early in the day, and then have a warm and filling meal ready at dinnertime with very little prep. You may want to serve the pineapple chicken with some steamed brown rice. If you happen to have a rice cooker, you can also prepare this early in the day so that come dinnertime--after a busy day at work--you'll have virtually no extra prep. Round out the meal with a green salad for color and crispness and plenty of nutrition, all packed in a minimal number of calories.
