Please note: The original recipe for this calls for green peppers. Since my
husband will not them, I substituted cilantro to give it more flavor. I
also put in fresh minced ginger instead of powdered which the original
recipe calls for. *Remove all skin and any fat from chicken before cooking.
** DO NOT DRAIN the pineapple, include the juice in the crockpot.***Mince
