Slow Cooker Hawaiian Chicken

Tender, juicy chicken slow-cooked with sweet pineapple and tangy barbecue sauce. Serve over rice for an simple dinner or pile it on buns for tropical-inspired pulled chicken sandwiches. A family favorite that practically makes itself! Prep Time10 minutes minsCook Time6 hours hrsTotal Time6 hours hrs 10 minutes mins Course: Main CourseCuisine: Hawaiian Servings: 6 Calories: 471kcal

Notes

BBQ Sauce: Montgomery Inn Barbecue Sauce is my personal favorite...tangy, sweet, and fat-free. But any sweet or smoky BBQ sauce you love will work. Make it spicy: Add a teaspoon of sriracha or crushed red pepper flakes. Meal prep: This recipe freezes beautifully. Store cooled chicken in airtight containers or freezer bags for up to 3 months. Serving ideas: Try it over cauliflower rice for a low-carb option, tucked into tortillas for pineapple-chicken tacos, or spooned onto baked sweet potatoes.
