Cooking Steps

  3. To the skillet, add the flour and stir it in until it appears pasty.
  4. Add the pineapple juice mixture to the skillet and stir. Allow it to come to a simmer while stirring and cook for 5 minutes until it starts to thicken.
  5. Place the chicken in a 3-4 quart crock pot. Pour the sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
