This Jezebel chicken crockpot recipe combines sweet pineapple, tangy horseradish, and tender chicken for an easy, mouthwatering dinner that’s sure to impress!

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup pineapple preserves
1/3 cup prepared horseradish (adjust to taste)
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine pineapple preserves, horseradish, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, making sure it’s well-coated.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.
Once cooked, shred the chicken in the crockpot using two forks, mixing it with the sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or with roasted veggies.

Notes

Sweet and Spicy: The horseradish adds a kick, but you can adjust the level based on your taste preference. For less heat, reduce the horseradish or omit the cayenne.
