Chicken Tacos on Naan with Peanut Sauce

Happy Sunday Funday!  I'm excited about the recipe I'm sharing today because it evolved from one that I wasn't super excited about into something quite tasty.

I made Hawaiian chicken in the crockpot.  It's a frozen meal that I made two of... my family wasn't a fan of it served over rice but I didn't want the second meal to go to waste.  On a day I knew was going to be particularly busy... I put it in the crockpot with the plan of trying it again for dinner and hoping we all liked it better than the first time.

I ended up getting home with a few minutes to spare and pulled the chicken out and tasted the sauce. It had flavors that I thought might go well with a Thai style peanut sauce.  We also had some naan bread on hand and fresh veggies to help pull the "taco" together.

Let's Get Crafty!
For the chicken:

4 boneless chicken breasts

1/4 cup BBQ sauce

1 20 oz. can pineapple chunks, undrained

1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce

1/4 cup brown sugar

Cook in the crockpot on low 8 hours (if frozen.)  

For the peanut sauce:

1/2 cup peanut butter

2 teaspoons lemon juice (I've seen recipes with lime but I always have lots of lemon on hand)

4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1/2 teaspoon honey

1 tablespoon minced garlic (taking help from the store on this one.  I love the jars of garlic when it's ready to go.  We like a lot of garlic - if you don't then this could easily be reduced to fit your taste buds)

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (fresh grated would be even better!)

Mix all together well adding water to get to the sauce consistency you're looking for.

To build my taco I added some sesame seeds and crunchy noodles.  

It was truly delicious and a hit with the whole family.  

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a great day!
