Crock-Pot Pineapple Verde Chicken

Slow Cooker Pineapple Verde Chicken

I love the combination of sweet and savory, so when my kids said they wanted nachos for dinner I knew exactly what I wanted to make. I wanted to cook up some chicken that is full of flavor, shred it up and serve it over tortilla chips, cheese, some salsa or pico de gallo and maybe just a dollop of sour cream and I knew I would be in nacho heaven.

Our family loves nachos because I can just set out bowls of all the toppings and everyone can pick their favorite topping for their nachos. We then pop the plates of chips in a warm oven (be sure to use oven safe plates) to melt the cheese and make everything melt-y and delicious!

This chicken comes out super good and full of flavor and is versatile too. If nachos are “nacho thang” (see what I did there?) then serve the chicken in tortillas for burritos or tacos or cook up some white or brown rice, heat up some black beans (or whatever beans strike your fancy) add some sweet and savory chicken to your bowl top with cheese and make burritos bowls!

I had a little bit of leftover chicken and made one of the best quesadillas I have had in a long time with the leftover meat and a bunch of Monterrey Jack cheese…oh my yum!
