Slow Cooker Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken

I have a 2-qt slow cooker and have had to adopt many of my favorite recipes to its size. This dish consists of a few simple ingredients to create an amazingly flavorful and filling meal for two!

---------------

Ingredients
Two organic chicken breasts
Teriyaki sauce
One can pineapple chunks
Red pepper flakes
Powdered ginger
Garlic powder


---------------

Always remember to spray your slow cooker with oil first (I prefer canola)

Place chicken breasts into cooker, pour teriyaki sauce over chicken until almost covered

Pour entire can of pineapple chunks (including juice) over chicken

If cooker is not at least half full, add more teriyaki sauce or water (remember to fill it between 1/2" and 3/4" from the top)

Sprinkle spices on top of pineapples to taste (I add equal amounts of each, about a teaspoon)

---------------

Set on LOW for 6 - 8 hours

When it's done I shred the chicken in the pot with a fork and serve it over Quinoa!
