Servings: 6
Cost: $8.50
Equipment
- 6-quart Slow Cooker
- Cutting Board
- Knife
Ingredients
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 16 ounces crushed pineapple, drained well
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in the bowl of a slow cooker. Stir to combine.
- Slow cook until chicken is cooked through, on low for 5 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours.
- Use forks to shred the chicken inside the bowl of the slow cooker or transfer chicken to a cutting board and roughly chop. Add chicken back to slow cooker and stir to combine chicken with cooking liquid.
- Turn off slow cooker and let chicken soak in cooking liquid for 10 minutes.
- Taste the chicken and season with some salt. (Note: The saltiness of the dish will vary depending on the amount of salt in the BBQ sauce you used, so this may need some added salt at the end.)
- Serve chicken over rice or on buns for sandwiches (see serving notes below).
Notes
If serving the chicken over rice, serve it with the cooking liquid since the rice will soak it up. If serving on sandwiches, drain the chicken well before putting it on sandwich buns. In either case, you can add some extra BBQ sauce to the finished chicken if you’d like more of that flavor.
