Crockpot Ham & Pineapple Glazed Chicken

The weather is warming up & it is almost crockpot season.  I am going to try & hook you up with some good recipes.  The only thing that holds me back from these types of recipes is the photography part.  Casseroles & crockpot dinners are incredibly hard to make appetizing in pictures.  Anyway, I saw this Slow Cooker Pineapple Glazed Chicken from Six Sisters' Stuff & the shiny glaze had me sold.  I tweaked it to make it my own by adding ham making it super scrumptious!  This has easy & delicious written all over it!  My husband thought the glaze even tasted like a saucy orange chicken.  It's definitely Asian inspired with a Hawaiian twist.  Give it a try & tell me what you think!
