Ingredients
Scale
1 cup pineapple juice
½ cup packed brown sugar
⅓ cup light soy sauce
2 lbs chicken breast tenderloins
Instructions
Method 1: Crockpot Perfection

- Set your crockpot to low and cook for 4 hours.
- Stir halfway through to ensure the chicken is well-coated.
- Serve hot with your choice of sides!
(P.S. A slow cooker is basically a personal chef that works while you’re chasing tiny humans or doing 17 other things. Take advantage.)
Method 2: Dutch Oven Delight
- Preheat your oven to 325°F.
- Add all the ingredients to your Dutch oven and give it a mix.
- Cover with the lid and bake for 1 hour, stirring halfway through.
- Serve immediately and bask in the glory of compliments from your family.
(Pro tip for Dutch oven enthusiasts: Don’t forget to check the moisture levels. Add a splash of water or pineapple juice if things are looking a little dry.)
