Here's one I just did last week:

2 pieces of chicken (leg & thigh, skin on & bone in). You could use chicken breasts if you want - DH likes dark meat better.
1 can Aldi's pineapple chunks
2 tablespoons brown sugar (and honestly I could have skipped these)
1 big sweet potato, cut into pieces (big chunks.)

Good things about this recipe: Super easy, the chicken was amazingly tender, the whole thing fed 2 people (generously!) for ~350 cals.

Bad thing: the sugar from the pineapple - or even the brown sugar - burned to the side of the crock pot. It was a bit of a challenge to clean up.

Crock pot liners are the best invention every...I never have to scrub my crockpot!

Making this TONIGHT! Already in the crockpot! Oh man, I forgot the crockpot liners though!

Feel bad just 'bumping' this but SallieBeige would REALLY appreciate this thread.

Thanks for the good ideas guys and gals.

This one is SO good! We make it at least once every few weeks.

Slow Cooker Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin

Serves 8

Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 3 fresh red chile pepper, finely chopped (I leave these out because we don't like heat, and I've never been able to find them anyway.)
- 1/2 large onion, sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown tenderloins on all sides, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together teriyaki sauce, chicken broth, and brown sugar in a bowl. Stir in garlic, red chile pepper, onion, and black pepper.

2. Put browned tenderloins into slow cooker, cover with the teriyaki sauce mixture. Cook on High for about 4 hours, turning 2 to 3 times during the cooking time to ensure even doneness.

3. Remove tenderloins from the slow cooker and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. If desired, spoon liquid over slices when serving.

I got this recipe from www.allrecipes.com. It's my favorite recipe site.
