Recipe Ingredients

• Chicken breasts – Boneless skinless chicken breasts are great for this recipe. They stay moist in all the sauce. Another option is chicken tenderloins.
• Bell pepper – Green bell pepper is a staple in Hawaiian recipes.
• Pineapple – Crushed pineapple will sweeten and flavor the sauce; drain pineapple chunks. You can add the pineapple juice to the dish, though the sauce will be on the runny side.
• Bacon – Cooked and crumbled bacon adds a slightly smokey flavor to the recipe.
• Sauce ingredients – For the sauce, you will need barbecue sauce, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and pepper.

Step-by-Step Directions

Step One – Add the chicken breasts to the slow cooker.

Step Two – Sprinkle over the pepper and garlic powder. Add the bell pepper, crushed pineapple, barbecue sauce, cooked bacon, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix everything.

Step Three – Cook on low for 6 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time. The chicken will marinate as it slowly cooks.

Step Four – If desired, shred the chicken, or serve the chicken breasts whole or halved.

How to serve

• On Rice – Serve the chicken over rice along with the Hawaiian sauce. For a healthy option, serve with brown rice, or you can make white rice or even coconut rice. Great with a green side dish such as steamed broccoli and topped your dish with sliced green onions and sriracha hot sauce.
• With Mashed Potaotes – You may not think of serving this chicken with slow cooker mashed potatoes, but it is good! The salty mashed potatoes go great with the sweet and tangy chicken.
• As a Sandwich – Serve the shredded crockpot bbq Hawaiian chicken on hamburger buns with macaroni salad.
