Instructions
- Place 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crockpot in a single layer.
- Pour the entire bottle of Sweet BBQ sauce evenly over the chicken, using a spoon to spread it so the breasts are well coated.
- Add the entire can of crushed pineapple, including the juice (do not drain), on top of the sauce and chicken.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4–6 hours, until the chicken is fork-tender or reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- (Optional) Remove the chicken, shred with two forks, return shredded chicken to the crockpot, stir to coat with sauce and pineapple, and cook an additional 10–15 minutes on LOW to meld flavors.
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.
