Crock Pot HAWAIIAN CHICKEN

Ingredients

• 3 lbs Chicken Breast (uncooked, thawed)

• 20 oz can of Pineapple (sliced or chunks - drained - cut to bite size)

• 18 oz bottle of BBQ Sauce (I use Sweet Baby Ray's - use your favorite)

• *1 tsp of Crushed Red Pepper (optional - see tip below)

Directions

Spray crock-pot with non stick cooking spray. Place chicken breast on bottom of crock-pot. Mix BBQ sauce, drained pineapple and crushed red pepper together, pour over chicken. Cook on low for approximately 6-8 hours or until tender. Enjoy over rice with steamed veggies, or shred to make BBQ sandwiches or yummy quesadillas!  

Tips:  

Cooking times may vary from crock pot to crock pot, adjust cooking time according to your slow cooker.  

The crushed red pepper makes it a little spicy/hot.  If you don't care for spicy, reduce the amount of red pepper to 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon, or just skip the red pepper. 

One more tip...to get all the BBQ sauce out of the bottle, I poured approximately 2 Tablespoons of the juice from the can of pineapples into the bottle and shook it up!   

If you LOVE pineapple, add more...you can't add too much!
