I have a confession to make… I been a little distracted lately…
I have been taking photos with my camera on a weird setting…
Yikes!! You’d think I would notice this!
I have a pretty good excuse…
I have spent 36 out of the last 40 days with one or more of my grandchildren underfoot…
I am Blessed I know, and they are so precious……but very exhausting!
So I have edited the you know what out of these photos so I could share them with you
I could have waited and made this again for better photos, but I want you try this recipe now, this week, asap!
It’s perfect for these sizzling temps~
Put boneless, skinless chicken thighs into a slow cooker
Cover with equal parts BBQ sauce and Asian sweet chili sauce*
* reduce the ratio if you want it less spicy. I am not a fan of a lot of heat and the 50:50 ratio is fine for me~ The sweetness from the pineapple helps too when eaten together
Make some vegetable skewers with lots of peppers, zucchini and corn. Add the pineapple to skewers or just grill the rings
If you don’t want to bother with the grill, you can simply roast, broil or saute them…
If you want to keep your kitchen cool, simply serve the peppers and pineapple raw
The chicken will shred by itself after cooking
Pile the chicken onto nice soft toasted buns, like Hawaiian rolls
Top with pineapple and serve with grilled veggies and a side of rice
and lots of napkins!
Drizzle more sauce from the slow cooker over sliders if desired

HH whisked me away to the beach last weekend for some R & R by ourselves, so I’m hoping I will be a little more on top of things this week and take better photos 🙂 and not spray paint the grass or pour orange juice in the coffee pot
