Not Just Pinning Anymore!

Like so many others, I am addicted to Pinterest.

I love looking at what other's have pinned,

including recipes.

When I saw the recipe for 

Crock Pot Hawaiian BBQ Chicken...

I immediately thought 3 things:
1. crock pot...easy
2. 3 ingredients...easy
3. pineapple...extra bonus points

I followed the link to the original recipe 

on the blog Six Sister's Stuff.

4-6 Boneless Chicken Breasts (mine were still frozen!)

1 Bottle Archer Farms Hawaiian Style Barbecue Sauce (from Target)

1 20 oz. can Pineapple Chunks, drained

Spray the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray for an easy cleanup!  

Place frozen chicken breasts in the crock pot and cover with sauce.  

Empty can of drained pineapple chunks on top.  

Cook on High for 2-3 hours or Low for 4-6 hours.  

Shred chicken with two forks while still in the crock pot 

so the chicken will be well coated with sauce.  

Serve over rice.

I followed the directions exactly.

(except I use the crock pot bags for even easier cleanup!)

I even bought the exact same BBQ sauce 

at Target on a recent trip to Macon.

It's been cooking all day...filling the house with a wonderful smell.

And I've been anticipating that pineapple all afternoon!

First bite...spicy.

Second bite...hot!

Third bite...really, really spicy.

Fourth bite...good golly, 

my MOUTH IS ON FIRE!!!!

I have no idea what's in that BBQ sauce. 

I threw the bottle away earlier in the day.

But it is SPI--CY!!!!

I will cook this again,

but I'll make my own tweaks.

Next time, I will use regular BBQ sauce.

And I won't use an entire bottle a sauce.

It was a little too "wet" for me. 

And I probably won't add the pineapple

 til the last hour or so...

or maybe not til I serve dinner. 

I'd rather my pineapple 

not taste like hot, spicy BBQ sauce!

Overall...it was a winner.

Marc liked it, but agreed it was a bit too spicy.

I'm just excited I finally used a link from Pinterest!
