“For me, the magic of Hawaii comes from the stillness, the sea, the stars.” ~ Joanne Harris

Ugh, another cold, cold dreary day.

It is time for you to leave, Old Man Winter. You have overstayed your welcome.

On days like these, I can’t help but think about nice, sunny, warm days at the beach and today my mind is on this particular beach.

Hanauma Bay in Honolulu.

What a fabulous day this was…….

DSC04007_2So in honor of this day in my memory we are having Crockpot Hawaiian Chicken.

If only it could take me back!

Crockpot Hawaiian Chicken

(adapted from Chef-in-Training)

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp. mustard
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple with juice
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 small can pineapple chunks, drained

Mix all ingredients except pineapple chunks and cook in crock pot on low for 6 hours.  Add the pineapple chunks in for the last 20 minutes of cooking. Remove chicken, shred and return to pot.

Serve over rice.
