Tasty and easy! My boyfriend isn’t a big fan of cilantro, so I used fresh basil instead. The night before we were going to have it, I prepped the onion/basil/spice sauce and put it in the fridge. Then before work the next morning, I threw the chicken breasts, sauce, and pineapple in the crockpot and left it on “low” all day (9 hours until I got home from work). I shredded the chicken and turned it down to “keep warm” until dinnertime. I only used 3 chicken breasts since there are just two of us, but didn’t cut down the amount of sauce or pineapple. There was some extra liquid, but not too much. We go pretty low carb, so we didn’t serve it over anything, just with our nightly roasted veggies. Yum! My boyfriend was looking forward to leftovers for lunch. I used half a cup of bottled lime juice and I didn’t think the flavor was too lime-y or bitter at all. Thanks for sharing!

Made this last night and LOVED it! I loved the combination of spices, the smell and taste were delicious. I actually used an 8 oz can of pineapple, bc I’m not a big fan, but after sitting in the crock pot all day, think I could have used the full 20 oz, it cut down on the spices and lime juice. I will definetly make this again. I served over rice, but would like to try tacos and sandwiches next time

This was very flavorful and yummy! I served this in flour tortillas with rice, black beans, cheese and sour cream. My hubby commented on how good it was, and that’s a huge compliment! I’ll be making this again for sure!

This was excellent and a nice variation to slow cooked chicken for tacos. I served this over cilantro lime quinoa and black beans, plus offered three salsas for topping. Big hit for my guests. Thanks!

I was really excited to make this recipe but was not as much excited about it after making it. I think if I were to make it again I would cut down on the amount of cumin which was very over powering in this recipe.

This was really delicious. I used a little less lime juice, but did use some zest. We all loved it. It was a little spicy though Served with Spanish rice, refried beans, corn tortillas, avacado, etc. YUM!

This recipe is great, and super easy! I did not find the lime juice to be too powerful at all. I juiced 3 limes and it was barely a 1/2 cup. Maybe if you use bottled lime juice it would be too powerful, because that does have a different taste. I served mine on hamburger buns like a “pulled chicken sandwich” and it was a hit. I will definitely be making this again!

The amount of lime juice was over powering and made the sauce bitter. Even though the pineapple is sweet is wasn’t enough to overcome the bitterness. I tried adding sugar but that didn’t work.
