A delightful twist on the classic chicken recipe, combining sweet pineapple and tangy flavors for a delicious meal.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Ensure the butter is melted evenly to prevent burning.
Brown the chicken breasts on both sides in the skillet until golden.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even browning.
Transfer the browned chicken to the slow cooker.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, mustard, brown sugar, and lemon juice.
Whisk the ingredients thoroughly to blend the flavors.
Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
Slice the pineapple and add it to the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Adding the pineapple later preserves its texture and flavor.
Serve the chicken and pineapple on a platter, drizzling the sauce over the top.
Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro for added color and flavor.
