🍗 Ingredients

• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

• 1 (20 oz) bottle Hawaiian BBQ sauce (*or 1 cup BBQ sauce + 1 cup pineapple juice*)

• 1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple (undrained)

• Optional add-ins:

  • 1 sliced bell pepper

  • 1 sliced onion

  • 2 minced garlic cloves

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (for umami)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Add everything to the crockpot: Place chicken in the slow cooker, then pour Hawaiian BBQ sauce and crushed pineapple (with juice) on top. Add extras if using.
2️⃣ Cook:

• Low heat: 4–5 hours

• High heat: 2–3 hours
  3️⃣ Shred: Use two forks to pull apart the chicken. Stir to coat in sauce.
  4️⃣ Serve: Over rice, Hawaiian rolls, or in tacos. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

🔥 Pro Tips

• For thicker sauce: Remove chicken, simmer juices on stove with 1 tbsp cornstarch slurry.

• Spicy kick? Add sriracha or red pepper flakes.

• No Hawaiian BBQ sauce? Mix 1 cup BBQ sauce + ½ cup pineapple juice + 1 tbsp honey.

Why It Works

✔ Zero effort with maximum flavor.
✔ Meal-prep friendly—freezes well!
✔ Versatile: Use leftovers for pizza topping, nachos, or sliders.
