When it comes to having family fun, I know a key is having a good family dinner. Every Thursday night is family night in our house and I want to make sure we have a hot meal on the table.
Sometimes I go all out and other times I got to my trusty crock pot. I love the ease of the crock pot! You throw in some stuff and your house smells so good as it cooks. And with little effort, you have a tasty meal for your family. And with it helps make for extra fun time when Mom is not in the kitchen cooking.
In order to make dinner fun and easy for your family, here is a 4 ingredient meal that is so tasty and smells good: Easy Crock Pot Pineapple Chicken.
- 2-3 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 1 can of pineapple chunks, undrained
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot. Place the brown sugar on top, pouring the soy sauce on top. Dump pineapple chunks with the pineapple juice into the crockpot. Cook on low for 4-6 hours, depending on if your chicken is frozen or not.
Now, with the help of Minute Steamers Rice packs, dinner just got easier! The awesome packs of rice can be found in the freezer section of your local grocery store. Coming in flavors such as:
- Whole Grain Brown Rice
- White Rice
- Whole Grain Brown & Wild with Vegetables (my fav)
- Broccoli and Cheese Rice
- Spanish Rice
- Fried Rice
- Macaroni and Cheese.
Each of these packs are so easy and are the perfect pair to these Four Ingredient Meals! You just pop them in the microwave for 4 minutes and you have the perfect side dish to any meal, including my easy Crock Pot Pineapple Chicken.
To make things even more fun, Minute Steamers has agreed to give a fun pack of goodies to one MHA reader, including a timer, some pot holders and a grocery tote.
