Instructions

  • Place 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crockpot in a single layer.
  • Pour the entire bottle of Sweet BBQ sauce over the chicken, spreading it so the breasts are coated.
  • Add the can of crushed pineapple to the crockpot without draining (include the juice) and spread it evenly over the chicken and sauce.
  • Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4–6 hours.
  • Cook until the chicken is fork-tender and easily pulls apart (and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F). If desired, shred the chicken with two forks and stir to combine with the sauce before serving.

Notes

Usefresh juicy pineapple; just cut it down into smaller fresh pineapple chunks to make the bites easier upon serving.
Add more seasoning for extra flavor! Kosher Salt and Black Pepper to taste, ground or fresh ginger, brown sugar, garlic powder, and soy sauce are all complementary homestyle flavors for theAloha chicken sauce mixture.
You can also use chicken thighs but may adjust the slow cooking time as a result. Boneless chicken thighs tend to have a ton of flavor in a pineapple chicken recipe!
Toppings that go well with this tangy sauce and juicy chicken are a spattering of green onions for color or pepper flakes for a little heat.
