Ingredient Notes

An overhead view of the ingredients needed to make slow cooker Hawaiian Barbecue Chicken.
  • Chicken Breasts: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts work best for this recipe, or you can use boneless skinless chicken thighs. Just know that there will be a little more gristle and fat with thighs.
  • Pineapple: You are looking for canned pineapple and you can use slices or chunks. Don’t forget to include the juice for extra flavor!
  • Butter: Chicken is pretty lean, so adding butter helps keep them moist.
  • Ketchup: The base for our homemade BBQ sauce.
  • Brown Sugar: Can be replaced with pure maple syrup.
  • Worcestershire Sauce: Adds so much flavor.
  • Liquid Smoke: Hickory or mesquite both work well.
  • Hoagie Rolls (Optional): If you want to serve the shredded chicken as sandwiches, hoagie rolls are a great choice.

Over Steamed Rice: Serve the whole or shredded chicken over a bed of steamed rice for a simple yet delicious meal. There is plenty of sauce to go over the rice.

Sandwiches: Pile the shredded chicken onto hoagie rolls for mouthwatering sandwiches. Add a slice of cheese on there if you are feeling a bit extra.

Make it a Freezer Meal

After cooking and shredding the chicken, let it cool completely. Divide the shredded chicken mixture into portions suitable for your needs—whether that’s individual servings or enough for a whole meal. Place each portion in a freezer-safe bag or container. If using bags, flatten them out to save space in the freezer and allow for quicker thawing later.

When you’re ready to enjoy, transfer the bag from the freezer to the fridge the night before to thaw. Once thawed, reheat the chicken mixture in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it’s warmed through.

Storage & Reheating Instructions

Refrigerate any leftover chicken in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Reheat in the microwave in 30-second increments until warmed through, stirring in between for even heating.

Reheat in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it’s warmed through.
