  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  3. Pour the pineapple BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken, making sure the chicken is fully covered.
  4. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. Once the cooking time is up, shred the chicken using two forks.
  6. Serve the shredded Crockpot Pineapple BBQ Chicken over rice, on buns, or with your favorite sides.

Notes

For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. The slow-cooking process in the crockpot allows the chicken to become incredibly tender and shredable. The perfect balance of pineapple and barbecue sauce creates a unique and delicious flavor profile. Adjust the amount of barbecue sauce or brown sugar to your desired sweetness level. This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated before serving.
