oooh I can't wait to try this for my house!!
It's so yummy!
The recipe calls for freshly ground ginger, should it be freshly grated ginger? Â I have ground ginger in my spice cabinet, but it’s not “fresh.”
Lily,
Whoops!! Yes, freshly grated ginger.
so quick, so easy, so delicious. Thank you Skinny Ms!
Love this recipe. The greatest thing about it is the left overs are even better the next day.
Love this recipe!!
I'm the only one who will eat this, so I'll have to try freezing leftovers. Bragg Liquid Aminos = awesome!

so quick, so easy, so delicious. Thank you Skinny Ms!Â
Great recipe
This is another of my favorites! family loves the sweetness, and I love that it is healthy.
We really enjoyed the slow comer Polynesian chicken. It was cooked perfectly and very fllavorful!
One of my family's favorites!
I tried this recipe today and it was really good! I did add a few things….black pepper and some thinly sliced onion in with the chicken and pineapple at the beginning. I also added in some halved snow peas and one can of drained water chestnuts along with the red bell pepper at the end. Very good flavor. I do have to note that chicken always comes out a bit tough from the crock pot, but otherwise it was a very good recipe.
Is the calorie count above with the rice or quinoa?
Lynne, Under the title.
Will give this one a go. However, will have to substitute the pineapple with mango. Pineapple is a trigger for my Hemiplegic Migraines.
Missy, Mango sounds YUMMY!
Mango, I should have thought of this. I tried it with the pineapple and wasn’t crazy about it. The texture of cooked pineapple bothers me for some reason. I may have to try it again using mango and a few of the other items a few people mentioned.
Daisy, Keep us posted on the mango version. Would love to hear about your results.
Is the calories with the rice or without…
Without but 1/2 cup rice or quinoa wouldn't add that much.
This is in my crockpot right now – I cannot wait to see how it turns out.
Love the ease and it goes GREAT with brown rice !!!!

I have a question about the Bragg's Liquid Aminos. Low Sodium Soy Sauce has less sodium than the Bragg's. Are there other health benefits to using Aminos instead?
Heather, Bragg’s doesn’t have all the artificial ingredients that low-sodium has.
