That looks so good, must try it!!!
awesome I have all of this on hand, making it for dinner tomorrow!
Wow. Really great recipe. Thanks.
I am going to try this recipe this week! I bought a pineapple yesterday, and I imagine by the end of the week there will be some left that will be perfect for this!
Kath, I really like this recipe. I will substitute chicken thighs because I find they have a bit more flavor. Plus the wife really likes them as well. All in all, it looks good!
Yummy! Did you drain the pineapple or use the juice too? Thanks!
I used an 8 oz can and did not drain it. I thought I needed the liquid!
Kath I made it and the husband loved it! I made myself a veggie version: http://www.ambersnotebook.com/2010/01/look-and-eats-of-day-pinapple-express.html
Another go to crock pot recipe, thank you!
This was wonderful! My 21month old ate some of it- but I think it was a bit spicy for him. I also used all the pineapple juice and the brown rice soaked it right up. Thanks for the recipe!
