My Hawaiian neighbor brought this dish over, and we devoured it!
Put this recipe on paper.
Something unique happens when a meal combines the exotic with the hearty flavors of traditional Midwestern home cuisine. A lovely fusion of homey comfort food with tropical flare, this slow cooker macadamia pineapple chicken is sure to please. A long-ago family vacation to Hawaii is when this meal was born. We couldn’t get enough of the addictive mix of crunchy, buttery macadamia nuts and the juicy, sweet pineapple. This is going to be a simple but magical dinner since I’ve added those tastes to our favorite slow cooker. On days when you’d rather stay inside and fantasize about balmy tropical breezes, this is the ideal choice.
A serving of steaming jasmine rice is the perfect accompaniment to this meal since it soaks up all the flavorful sauce. To balance the pineapple’s richness, try serving it with a crisp green salad dressed with a mild vinaigrette. To add a genuine Midwest touch, try serving it with a side of roasted root vegetables or buttery corn on the cob. To top it all off, have some iced tea or lemonade on the side.
