Ingredients

  • 1.5–2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple with juice
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce (any preferred style)
  • 1/2 onion, diced (optional)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Cooked rice, buns, or tortillas, for serving
  • Fresh chopped parsley or green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken in the bottom of the crockpot. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Pour the crushed pineapple (with juice) and barbecue sauce over the chicken. Add diced onion if using.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  4. Shred the chicken with two forks in the crockpot and mix well with the sauce.
  5. Serve hot over rice, on sandwich buns, or in tortillas. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
