    Why this slow cooker Hawaiian pineapple chicken is awesome

    • This dish has a wonderful sweet flavor thanks to the combo of BBQ sauce and pineapple. Another chicken dish with sweetness is this Easy Crockpot Orange Chicken Recipe.
    • A great way to add protein to dinner
    • Since you cook it in a crockpot, dinner is ready when you get home from work. Another yummy slow cooker dinner is our Honey Garlic Chicken Recipe.

    Ingredients

    • Chicken Breasts - use thawed chicken. For food safety reasons, I do not recommend using frozen chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
    • Sweet Baby Rays Hawaiian BBQ Sauce - or your favorite BBQ sauce
    • canned pineapple rings
