Crockpot Pineapple BBQ Chicken

An easy, tropical crockpot dish that combines sweet pineapple and tangy BBQ for a delicious, hands-off weeknight dinner.

  • Total Time: 255 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together barbecue sauce, pineapple chunks, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
  3. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the crockpot, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks.
  6. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and mix it with the sauce.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.

Notes

For richer flavor, brown the chicken quickly in a hot skillet before placing it in the crockpot. If the sauce is too thin, remove the lid and cook on high for 15-20 minutes to reduce, or stir in cornstarch mixed with cold water. Adjust seasoning to taste.
