Slow cooker liner, browned chicken, pineapples and sauce

 

OH so good!! I served this with brown rice (I mix in some of the pineapple sauce in my rice) and LeSuer young peas. Those peas are so tender and flavorful I only add a little salt and pepper to them.

 

This recipe is so easy that the first time we had it here Jonathan made it while I was at work.
