Sweet Hawaiian Crock Pot Chicken

I like sweets.  I also like chicken.  I like sweet chicken recipes...sometimes.  This one will work and can also have pineapple chunks and bell pepper chunks added to it for additional flavor.  You could serve it to your family over brown rice, but I’ll have mine over spinach that has been slightly wilted with some fresh garlic.  Throw it together in the morning and come home and serve at night.  Not feeding an entire family, leftovers for lunch work just fine.

Ingredients:

• Two pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into bite size chunks
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• ¼ cup of Splenda Brown Sugar Blend (or ½ cup brown sugar)
• 1/3 cup soy sauce

Directions:

1. Combine everything in your crock pot.
2. Cook on low in crock pot for 6-8 hours and then enjoy!

Variations: 

• Add pineapple chunks and/or bell pepper pieces along with some fresh crushed garlic and fresh chopped ginger.  Be sure to count the additional calories for anything you add.
