Steps:
- Place cut up carrots and sweet potatoes in bottom of crock pot, then add chicken breasts. In a large bowl, add brown sugar, pineapple juice, orange juice, soy sauce, ginger and garlic salt pour over chicken, sweet potatoes and carrots in crock pot. Cook on low until chicken is tender, about 6 hours. For shorter cook time, cook on high for about 4 hours. About one hour before done add the small can of pineapple chunks so they can heat up with rest of food.
Tips:
- To maintain the vibrant color and nutrients of the carrots, slightly steam them. Overcooking can result in limp and pale carrots with a mushy texture.
- Choose fresh pineapple slices that are ripe and sweet. Avoid canned pineapple as it tends to be softer and less flavorful.
- For a tangy twist, add a splash of lemon juice or white vinegar to the salad dressing.
- Fresh herbs, such as cilantro or mint, can add a refreshing touch to the salad.
- If you like spicy food, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red chili flakes to the dressing.

Carrots and pineapple are a classic combination that can be enjoyed in various dishes, from salads to main courses. Whether you prefer a simple salad or a more elaborate stir-fry, these versatile ingredients offer a delightful blend of flavors and textures. With their natural sweetness, vibrant colors, and nutritional value, carrots and pineapple make a delicious and healthy addition to any meal.
