Crockpot Pineapple Chicken (Stephanie O'Dea)

--enough chicken for 4

--20 oz can of pineapple chunks

--1/4 cup soy sauce (Tamari wheat free or La Choy are gluten free)

--1 t red pepper flakes

The Directions.

plop the chicken into the crockpot. I used frozen breast tenders. Drain the pineapple, and add the chunks with the soy sauce and the red pepper flakes.

cook on low for 4-6 hours, or on high for 3-4.

The cooking time will depend on how thick your pieces of chicken are, and if they are frozen or not.

My frozen breast tenders only needed to cook on low for 4 hours.

Serve over rice, quinoa, or on a bed of fresh spinach.

Crockpot Baked Potatoes

Any size crock pot.
Ball up aluminum foil to make approximately 2" balls then place in bottom of crock pot.
Wash, dry and rub your baking potatoes with salt (I use sea salt. Also use however many potatoes you need or can fit into your crock pot)
Wrap each potato in foil.
Place wrapped potatoes on top of the aluminum foil balls in the crock pot.
Low setting 4 hours.
The potatoes are exactly like a steakhouse potato. I serve with a fresh salad wedge or soup (from another crock pot) and bread. YUMMY!
