Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
1 (20 oz) can pineapple chunks in juice, undrained
1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
½ small onion, finely diced (optional)
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: fresh cilantro or green onion for garnish
Directions:
Place chicken in the bottom of your Crockpot.
Add pineapple chunks with juice, BBQ sauce, garlic, onion, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender and shreds easily.
Shred chicken with two forks right in the Crockpot and stir everything together.
Serve over rice, on buns, or in tacos. Drizzle extra sauce on top!
