  1. Brianna REVIEW:

    My husband and I enjoyed this dish. Cooking chicken on low makes me nervous, so I went by other chicken recipes and cooked on high for around 4 1/2 hrs. I'm not one for thighs so I used 3 large breasts cut in half. They cooked up nicely. I could only find a 14 oz can of pineapple but I went with it and we were pleased with the results. Oh and the smell... mmmmmmmm... what a wonderful air freshener!! Will be using the leftovers tonight as a pulled chicken. Will be making again! :)
