Slow Cooker Pineapple Chicken
Looking for a fresh and flavorful dinner that screams summer? This Pineapple Salsa
Chicken is the perfect answer. It’s simple to make, packed with juicy, tropical flavors,
and brings just the right amount of heat. Tender chicken breasts are simmered in a
savory pineapple-garlic broth, then served over fluffy basmati rice and topped with a
vibrant homemade pineapple salsa. Finished with creamy avocado and a hint of lime,
this dish is light, colorful, and one of my go-tos when I don’t have a lot of time to spare.
