I always tend to post "tropical-themed" recipes during the winter, intentionally. Yes, the winter is a time for comforting hearty stews and casseroles, but this time of year is also a time to give our taste buds a little tropical getaway when the winter blues set in. The doesn't mean we have to drink ice cold smoothiesΒ or raw salads; we can still make a hot and hearty meal, just with a little more zing. And maybe the best part about all this...you get to use the slow cooker!

It really is getting colder now and going outside to the grill isn't very inviting. Even though slow cookers probably aren't being used much in a tropical paradise (people are just sipping martinis and daiquiris pool-side), there's no reason to keep the flavors away. Pineapple is always the first "tropical" element and flavor to come to mind. Nothing says paradise and relaxation more, than a ripe juicy pineapple. PinΓ‘ coladas, anyone? And when it comes to nuts, I'm pretty sure the #1 "tropical" nut would be the macadamia nut. Am I right? From the coasts of Australia to the shores of the Hawaiian islands, mac nuts are a decadent paradise indulgence.

I still remember the first time I ever had a macadamia nut. My mom brought home a small jar of salted mac nuts and she let my bother and I try one. They were so lovely, silky, and creamy! Too bad they were rather expensive and she didn't want my brother and I to eat them all on her. So she tucked them away in the pantry thinking we wouldn't find them. Well, I don't know about my brother, but I went on the hunt for them when my mom wasn't around. I remember sneaking one of two at a time, hoping she wouldn't notice. From then on, I always looked for mac nuts in the grocery, hoping to find them on sale and in a much bigger jar than the one my mom had gotten.

They are definitely not a nut I have often, if ever, but lucky for you and me, this recipe doesn't include expensive whole macadamia nuts, but mac milk! If you remember over the summer I shared my Golden Kiwi Muffin recipe using mac milk, and I said I had another fabulous recipe using it. Well, here it is, ready to take you on another tropical trip! The silky creaminess of mac milk and pop of pineapple is another fantastic savory/sweet slow cooker favorite of mine.

I know you all love these easy dump-and-go savory/sweet chicken recipes. This one is bound to be a new favorite as well. It emanates a sweet light pineapple smell from the slow cooker, but you can also smell the slight creaminess. That's hard to explain until you make it yourself, but you can just smell the creaminess that the mac milk brings to the chicken.

You can order mac milk rightΒ from Amazon or you can find it in select stores, but if for some sad reason you can't have macadamia nuts or just can't wait, coconut milk may not be a bad substitute! You could even make your own mac milk if you have macadamia nuts, but if you have macadamia nuts just sitting in the house...bless you!

      Coconut is a given and we can even say it spans both the nut and fruit category πŸ˜‰ Mango yes, but since I eat them ALL the time I just feel like they are a normal NJ fruit for me...although they always say "product from Brazil or Mexico" so some sort πŸ˜› Hahahahahaha!

    I'm all for tropical food basically whenever! Love the simplicity of this and also that it's slow cooker - I need more slow cooker recipes and I'm not the most creative with them, so thanks!

    This looks amazing Rebecca! I love pineapple/chicken combo! And the fact that you can make it in a slow cooker is a huge win! Great recipe once again.

Perfect tostones require the unripe green plantains (got mine from @theboysfarmersmarket), they're super cheap (like 20-30Β’), peel, slice, soak them in some water, lime juice, and salt, use your @gowiseusa air fryer to give them the first "fry", then get out your frustrations by smashing them into flat discs with a tostonera or a heavy mug, toss them back in the air fryer to finish getting golden and crispy! Serve with an extra pinch of flaky salt and salsa dips of choice! πŸ‘Œ
