Three Ingredient Pineapple Thai Chicken.

Have a busy kitchen? Do you like recipes that will adapt to slow cooking or oven baking? Us too, so that was the inspiration behind Three Ingredient Pineapple Thai Chicken!


We have made this tasty dish a couple of different ways. 

With crushed pineapple and with sliced pineapple. Each version of Three Ingredient Pineapple Thai Chicken is delicious, and each has a slightly different personality. When made with crushed pineapple, there is pineapple in the sauce. When made with sliced pineapple, the sauce is smooth yet totally delicious! Plus you get pineapple slices roasted in Sweet Chili Sauce...

It may not win a beauty contest, but it is so good!

Honestly, when made with crushed pineapple Three Ingredient Pineapple Thai Chicken is not very pretty...you see once we had some crushed pineapple leftover from baking a Carrot Cake. Once again, my frugal side took over and this chicken dish was born. And we have been enjoying it ever since. Enjoyed it often enough to change up the cooking method on a particularly busy day, adding the slow cooker option, for those busy days!

Three Ingredient Pineapple Thai Chicken, use your slow cooker or bake in the oven!

Simply combine and bake, the sauce forms during baking.

During baking the sauce forms. It is not too sweet or too hot, just right to dip crusty bread or drizzle on your favorite cooked grain. We usually serve this with brown rice. And it goes especially well with Cilantro Brown Rice and Red Potatoes! The cilantro is a great flavor complement to the chili sauce...plus this paring of recipes is company worthy, if you know what I mean. Why struggle with a difficult recipe when easy does it just right!

I do not know a single cook who does not appreciate an adaptable recipe. You may cook Three Ingredient Pineapple Thai Chicken in your slow cooker (the 9X13 pan style slow cookers are perfect for this recipe!) or bake it in a 350-degree oven. You will find directions below for both cooking methods.

Ingredients needed for this recipe:
  • chicken thighs
  • crushed pineapple
OR
  • sliced pineapple
  • sweet red chili sauce
You will also need the following:
  • baking pan 
OR 
  • slow cooker
  • measuring cup
  • kitchen knife
  • cutting board

Now we are ready to begin!

  1. Sounds delicious! I love recipes like this that use few ingredients and don't take forever to prepare. I think I would prefer the crushed pineapple. I might add some diced red bell pepper, too. Pinned to try later.
