Instructions

Step 1: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.

In a bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce, pineapple chunks with juice, red bell pepper, onion, soy sauce, garlic powder, ground ginger, and black pepper. Pour the mixture over the chicken.

Step 2: Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.

Remove the chicken, shred with two forks, then return to the slow cooker and stir to coat in the sauce. Let it cook for another 10–15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 3: Serve warm over rice, in sandwiches, or in lettuce wraps. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce overnight before slow cooking.
This recipe also works well with boneless chicken thighs.
Leftovers make great tacos or sliders.
