How to Make Catalina Pineapple Chicken in a Crock Pot

This Crock Pot Catalina Pineapple Chicken from Gooseberry Patch’sย Speedy Slow-Cooker Recipes
Are you ready for this super duper hard recipe? Spray your crockpot with cooking spray. Put your chicken in…pour the Catalina dressing, pineapple chunks (drained) and 1/4 cup of pineapple juice over top of the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or for 3 hours on high. That’s it!
You want to make sure the chicken is cooked through, but don’t overcook it and dry it out. I would also recommend serving this with plenty of juice served over your chicken…it makes the flavor really pop.

Hi Aunt Lou – I love this recipe. Yes, as simple as you described.
Some variations – It is okay to add some firm veggies to the pot – such as bell pepper strips, seeded jalapenos [after all, we are in Texas], rough chopped onions, and asparagus. No need to add sugar – there is plenty from the pineapple.
I had some pork steaks and used them instead of chicken – worked beautifully.
The extra pineapple juice really isn’t good for much I am afraid – it has a metallic taste.
Thank you for a wonderful, and simple, recipe.
Would this work as shredded chicken for sandwiches as well?
I haven’t tried shredding this and putting it on a bun, but that sounds yummy! If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
