Hawaiian Pork or Chicken
submitted by Stephanie Partridge

1-2 lbs chicken or pork (cut into bite size strips or you can leave whole )
1 bottle barbeque sauce
1 large can pineapple chunks

Throw it all in a crock pot on low for 3-4 hours (if thawed), or 5-6 hours frozen. I like to serve it over rice and throw almonds on top. The best part of this recipe is the lack of effort it takes. When I come home from the grocery store sometimes I just throw these ingredients in a freezer bag and leave it there until I don't feel like making dinner. Then I just defrost it a little bit and throw it in the crock pot.
