PIN IT FOR LATER So I know this probably doesn’t surprise you, but I love a sweet savory dish. Ham and Pineapple Pizza. Ham and Pineapple everything. Hawaiian Chicken Tacos. Pineapple Brown Sugar Meatballs. Let’s just say I’m a bit of a pineapple fanatic. I like pineapple in my dinner, my breakfast, my snacks, my dessert. And just straight up fresh pineapple everywhere in between. I also love my slow cooker (it’s worth noting that TWO out of three recipes I mentioned above start in the slow cooker!). So when summer comes, anytime I can combine the two in an easy meal that the whole family will love (including the 3 year old who eats nothing these days), I am one happy woman. At first, I was thinking of cooking the chicken, pineapple and peppers in the slow cooker and then cooking the rice on the stove. But I got to thinking…. if I can figure out how to perfectly cook pasta in the slow cooker (like this Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Chili Mac), surely I can do it with rice?! And though I was convinced I could, I didn’t. For really only one reason: the color. With slow cooker recipes, especially when there’s a sauce involved, everything starts to take on the same brown color and I didn’t want to present you with one giant bowl of brown. Someday I am going to try making this with the rice right in the slow cooker and I will be sure to share my results with you!
