Sweet ‘n Sour Chicken Over Potatoes

This slow cooker meal was made on our “Slow Cooker Monday.”
I don't have any pictures for this meal because I was not "at" dinner during the time the girls were eating this. Actually, I am not sure if they ate this or not. Jen might have taken the path to least resistance and took the pizza route. I had it on Tuesday for lunch and it was moist and the potatoes had a pineapplely taste (yes, I am aware that pineapplely is not a word).

Grade: B-

Ingredients:
3 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and sliced thin
4 whole chicken breasts, skinned and halved
1 cup orange juice
2 Tbs brown sugar
1 tsp dried basil
¼ tsp. nutmeg
2 Tbs cider vinegar
Dried parsley flakes
17-oz can pineapple chunks in water, drained

1.       Place sliced potatoes in slow cooker. Arrange chicken breasts over potatoes.
2.       Combine orange juice, brown sugar, basil, nutmeg, and vinegar. Pour over chicken.
3.       Sprinkle dried parsley flakes over chicken.
4.       Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours.
5.       Remove chicken breasts and potatoes from sauce and arrange on a warm platter.
6.       Add pineapple chunks to sauce remaining in slow cooker. Cook on high until they are at serving temperature.
7.       Pour sauce over chicken and potatoes.
