Ingredients

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs
15.5 ounces pineapple chunks in juice - don't drain
2 cups mixed onions and peppers I use frozen to keep it easy
1 ½ cups BBQ sauce I used Sweet Baby Rays Hawaiian BBQ
green onion for garnish

Instructions

Spray the inside of a crockpot with no stick spray.
Add all ingredients.
Cover.
Cook on low for 8 hours.
Garnish sliced green onions.
Serve the chicken whole, cut into bite-size pieces, or shred it right into the sauce before serving.

Notes

Storage:

Place in an airtight container. In the fridge, leftovers will last for about 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Tips:

For a complete meal, serve it over white or brown rice. Cauliflower rice is good, too, if you're looking for a low-carb option!
Slow cooker Hawaiian chicken is easy to prep ahead of time or in bulk. Portion the ingredients into plastic bags and freeze. The night before you want to throw everything in the crockpot, bring it to the refrigerator to thaw.
