Slow Cooker Hawaiian Chicken is sweet and tangy, great over rice or even buns!

This isn’t an authentic recipe,  but sure is delicious none the less. My grandmother is full blood Hawaiian, but sadly I never got the chance to meet her.\

I enjoy easy recipes like this that don’t need much work after I get home, I put on a pot of rice and can get dinner served right away.

The sauce is quite thick even with the added pineapple, but be sure to drain the pineapple very well!

Above is the chicken after I shredded it with 2 forks. I served this chicken over brown rice though white rice is just as good! Next time I make this I am going to serve on hamburger buns with macaroni salad. Also, try my Slow Cooker Hawaiian Baked Beans.

      I made this today for supper. We loved it! So easy..I added some water because I felt that the sauce was too thick. Next time I won’t drain the pineapple as much. We ate it over rice. I will make this again..

      Sorry, I haven’t made this yet, but I am going to. It looks and sounds amazing! I have a question. Would this freeze well (without the rice)? I’m not sure how the green pepper and pineapple will hold up? Thanks!

        Update: I ended up making this and it was so good. We really enjoyed it! I was really happy to have come across this recipe because it’s different than anything I’ve ever made. Will definitely be making again. I am still wondering about if it would freeze well.

      Made this for dinner tonight and we were all blown away by all the flavors in this! Easy prep, crock-pot meal that is wonderful for the summer months here in Texas. This one will be repeated.

      In your recipe can I omit the Bacon? And those recipes that you use Chicken Thighs, can you use skinless Boneless Chicken Breast?

      What temperature and amount of time would you recommend if this was cooked in a glass baking dish in the oven instead of a slow cooker?

      Do you HAVE to use the bell pepper?

      One question on this. Sounds great.May be a stupid question but here goes. You say cook the bacon. How? I like my bacon crisp. Do you cook it in a skillet? Leave some drippings? Cook half way and then add for the 6 hours? Thanks.

        I sliced the bacon, cooked it, drained it. Add it with everything in the beginning. The video shows how it looks. But I think anyway you want to do it will be fine! Even if you leave some drippings. 🙂
