We tried this for dinner last night. I loved how easy to prepare it was, and we had everything on hand - which made it very convenient. I cooked in my slow cooker for just about 5 hours and served over rice. It was good, but I think next time I will reduce the amount of ground ginger a little due to my family's tastes. I only used 3 chicken breasts, and it still didn't seem like there was quite as much sauce for us as we would have liked. We'll add it in as an idea to use occasionally for something different. Thanks for posting this convenient option so we could try something different!

Really good, really easy! Need I say more?

I used pineapple chunks instead of slices, and it turned out great. Follow the instructions as given, but increase the ground ginger to 1/2 teaspoon. The ginger and pineapple are delicious together. Our package of 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves weighed 2.87 lbs, or about 46 oz. Cooked on HIGH for 3 hours in the slow cooker, Hawaiian Chicken was delicious with hot rice and a mixed salad. I would definitely make this again.

I often do crock pot chicken with whole berry cranberry sauce so this recipe was a nice change of pace from that! Easy to put together, as well as making a very tasty main dish when served over a combo of brown rice & peas! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted orphans in the current Pick A Chef]

I work as a pharmacist for ACME markets, and as a consultant for The Pampered Chef...but, the best perk is all the days I get off, and getting to spend that time with my family and friends. I like attempting to be healthy - getting outdoors, working out. I like to rock climb, ski, and run races - competition drives me. I have 2 amazing goldendoodles, who drive me insane at times, but I love them. I love stupid gadgets, and just wish I had more room to store all the ones I've already gathered so I could get more. I can't stand it when people aren't honest - I'd rather hear that you hate me from your mouth than have you tell me I'm wonderful and know you're lying to my face. <img src="http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j10/housedaughter/hiswap.jpg" border="0" alt="H and I"> with personalchef <img src="http://i497.photobucket.com/albums/rr336/jess4freedom/Zaar%20banners/saltpepper_amtag.jpg" border="0" alt="Salt and Pepper"> with NELady <img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/St%20Pats/4811_68275.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> with CelestialShannon <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/CookbookParticipation.jpg"> with morganegeiser <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> adopted AnnieLynne, SoupCookie, and AnorexicLenka <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> by DreamoBway <img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/FUNANDGAMESSWAPPB.jpg"> with NELady <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w490.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/d065f045.pbw" height="300" width="400"> with ChefJean <img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/antbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> with Granny Moses <img src="http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/rr105/sherrysbanners/bbqbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> with Mandylou80 <img src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/CoffeeTeaSwap3.jpg"> with OneYetTwo <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif"> adopted selfmadegirl, Mrs.J, and Blue_Milkshake <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> adopted by 4-H Mom and from the Orphanage by Sydney Mike <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v51/tiggrr34/HolidayOrnamentSwapTag2c-1-1-1.jpg"> with farmwife <img src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/09holidayparticipationbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> with Karen=^..^= <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j184/cjmcqb/food/spbanner.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> with AuntWoofieWoof
