It makes a great sandwich, and is perfect for family dinners, parties, game day, or anytime you're looking for something super easy & incredibly delicious! The first time I make Slow Cooker Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken it was because we were looking for a healthier option to replace Sweet and Sour Chicken, which is one of our favorite takeout meals. Hawaiian chicken is fun because its minimal prep and satisfies those nights when you are craving a dish with a little bit sweeter of a flavor accompanied with some tang.

Steps to make Hawaiian slow cooked chicken:

1. First, you will make the sauce: In a bowl, add pineapple juice from the can without the chunks (set aside for late), ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, chilli-garlic sauce(or any other chilli sauce), garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, and whisk to combine. Set the sauce aside for now.
2. Drizzle olive oil over the bottom of the slow cooker or if you don’t have one, you can use a cast-iron dish with a lid and set aside.
3. Put the chicken and the corn starch into a large plastic bag, seal it and toss around until the chicken is evenly coated. Evenly distribute the chicken to a slow cooker/pan. And add the pineapple chunks over the chicken.
4. Now, pour the sauce that you prepared earlier all over the chicken, use a spoon if necessary. Make sure it’s all covered.
5. If using a Slow Cook, cover and cook for about 1 hour and 40 minutes in high or on low for 4 hours. If cooking on high, check at 90 minutes, and if cooking on low, checking at 3 hours. Because slow cookers are different from each the time may vary, just check the chicken if it’s cooked. If using a cast-iron pan, place in the oven for 3 hours at 120°C.
6. Serve with white rice and garnish with some chopped coriander. Enjoy!

Try Using Food to Boost Your Mood

A lot of us have been conditioned to think that comfort foods are terrible and to be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be extremely nutritious and good for you. There are some foods that really can improve your moods when you eat them. When you are feeling a little down and need an emotional pick-me-up, test out some of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be truly great at dealing with depression. You should make sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The yolk is the most essential part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the yolk particularly, are high in B vitamins. These B vitamins are fantastic for helping to boost your mood. This is because these vitamins increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Try eating some eggs to feel better!

Put together a few trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all great for helping to elevate your mood. This is because these foods are rich in magnesium, which helps to increase serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given time. The higher your levels of serotonin, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Not just that but nuts, specifically, are a terrific source of protein.

Cold water fish are excellent if you want to feel better. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that raise the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can seriously elevate your mood.

Grains can be excellent for overcoming a bad mood. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are terrific at helping you have a happier mood. They help you feel full too which can actually help to improve your mood. It’s easy to feel depressed when you feel hungry! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are not difficult for your stomach to digest. You digest these foods quicker than other things which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.

Green tea is wonderful for moods. You were sure it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea is found to be rich in an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid basically stimulates brain waves. This helps raise your mental focus while relaxing the rest of your body. You already knew green tea could help you be healthier. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood too!

Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you have to eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Go with these suggestions instead!
