Dump crushed pineapple over chicken breasts, along with 1 secret sweet ingredient, into slow cooker for a fruity dinner that I crave this week after w

This slow cooker 3-ingredient Amish pineapple chicken is one of those dump-and-go dinners that makes busy weeknights feel a little more special. You literally layer raw chicken breasts in the slow cooker, dump a can of crushed pineapple over the top, and finish with one secret sweet ingredient that melts into a tangy, fruity sauce. The idea is inspired by simple Amish-style cooking, where recipes use pantry staples and very few ingredients to create comforting, family-friendly meals.

It’s bright, a little sweet, and something my family asks for week after week.

Serve this pineapple chicken over fluffy white rice, brown rice, or buttered egg noodles so they can soak up all that sweet and tangy sauce. Steamed green beans, roasted broccoli, or a simple side salad balance the sweetness nicely.

For younger or picky eaters, I like to slice the chicken into bite-size pieces and spoon it with extra sauce over plain rice or mashed potatoes. A side of dinner rolls or cornbread is also wonderful for mopping up the juices at the bottom of the slow cooker.
