❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
It tastes like sweet and sour chicken to me. Everyone in my family loves it. Plus, you literally just throw a can of pineapple, BBQ sauce and some chicken in a slow cooker and you have dinner. These meals are so important in our house especially when we are so busy. I love having dinner done and I didn’t even have to do anything! Isn’t that the best? This recipe is very versatile in that you can serve it over rice, pasta, potatoes or any way you can come up with. I like it alone served with vegetables, too.
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- Chicken Breast
- Can of Pineapple Chunks
- BBQ Sauce
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
This recipe requires zero prep work and is so simple. You just throw it in the crock pot and get on with your day. We love this served over rice or baked potato, but it would be delicious over pasta, too.
I didn’t shred the chicken for the photos, so you can see how it looks but we do shred it before we add it over rice. You can also top it with sesame seeds and add soy sauce.
⭐TIP
I have used sugar free bbq sauce in this recipe and it was still delicious! I like to use the pineapple in that isn’t in syrup to cut down on the sugar content. This recipe is good the next day so you an easily make it and enjoy it for a few days.

Love this recipe. I used garluc sour cream mashed potatos instead of rice. Loved the flavor. Thank you for this simple recipe.
You’re very welcome!
It does taste like sweet & sour chicken, especially if you add one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, two sweet peppers cut in chunks ( I prefer one yellow and one red – not as strong as green) and half a sliced onion. Generally I sauté the peppers and onions first!
I was looking for something to do with some chicken breasts (boneless/skinless) that I had in the freezer for a while and wanted to use up.
This recipe is just what I was looking for — something simple, not a lot of ingredients, easy and quick to put together. I knew I had both the barbecue sauce and the pineapple in the pantry, so I threw it all in the slow cooker and turned it on low. I let it cook for about 5 hours till the chicken was falling apart. The only thing I did different was that I didn’t drain the pineapple, I poured it juice and all into the cooker. At the end, just before I shut the cooker off, I added a couple of teaspoons of cornstarch to thicken up the liquid and create a sauce. It ended up having a nice consistency, just juicy enough, not too thick, but not runny either. I served it over rice, and it was quite delicious. I have enough left over for a couple more meals (for only myself), and I’m sure it will reheat well.
I would definitely make this again. I love how easy it is!!
I made this with boneless skinless thighs instead as I prefer the dark meat over the white. I was blown away by just how good this was. I will be making it again soon.

I’m thrilled you gave it a try! I agree… it’s delicious! So simple you think how could this be good, but it’s one of my favorites!
I made this and could not believe how easy it was. When my husband compliments a meal you know it was a success. He made sure I have enough to make it again.
YAY!! So glad it was a hit!
Hi there Ladies
Ive made your pineapple chicken and Is delicious !
I would like to try the tomato bread but instead of fresh tomatoes can I use sun-dried tomatoes?
You can always try it, but you may be missing some of the moisture from the fresh tomatoes.
