Fix it & forget it Friday: Pineapple chicken

Slow Cooker Pineapple Chicken(Makes 4 servings)
Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1 (12 oz.) jar of  salsa
4 small raw zucchini, halved, quartered, then sliced (shredding works too)
1/4 medium, fresh pineapple

Directions
Step 1 – Turn on slow cooker to the low setting and put in the chicken and salsa. Cook for about 4-6 hours. Slow cookers vary, so base the time on that. The chicken should fall apart easily when finished.
Step 2 – Shred the chicken using two forks and mix in your raw zucchini and fresh pineapple.
Eat and Enjoy!


Nutritional Content

1 serving = 1/4 of the recipe
Please note: I was surprised to find that this dish was so high in sodium. Most of the sodium in this recipe comes from the salsa. If this is an issue for you, find a clean, low sodium salsa and this will magically become a lower sodium dish!
