Difficulty: Easy Source:

Ingredients

3 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast halves

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 can (8 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple undrained

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup honey

1/3 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup butter melted

In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil in batches on both sides; transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until meat is tender. Strain cooking liquid, reserving pineapple. Serve pineapple with the chicken.
