Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks (canned, with juice)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 4 cups cooked white rice or brown rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot in an even layer.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, pineapple chunks with their juice, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ground ginger until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken in the crock pot.
Add the chopped red bell pepper on top of the chicken and sauce.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot if desired, or serve it whole.
Stir the chicken and sauce to combine, then garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve hot over cooked white or brown rice for a complete meal.
