Description
🍍 Tropical pineapple and tangy BBQ sauce turn ordinary chicken into a sweet‑savory island favorite.
🍗 Slow‑cooker method makes it hands‑free, tender, and perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
– 680 g (1 ½ lb) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 5 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
– 1 ½ cups (≈ 150 g) diced green bell pepper
– 1 cup (≈ 240 ml) barbecue-style sauce
– 2 tsp (≈ 10 ml) soy sauce
– 2 tsp (≈ 10 ml) Worcestershire sauce
– ¼ tsp (≈ 1 g) garlic powder
– ¼ tsp (≈ 1 g) ground black pepper
– 1 can (20 oz / 567 ml) crushed pineapple, drained
Instructions
1-Place the chicken breasts in the slow-cooker insert to form the base of your dish.
2-Sprinkle the garlic powder and ground black pepper evenly over the chicken for a simple seasoning boost.
3-Add the diced green bell pepper, drained crushed pineapple, barbecue-style sauce, crumbled bacon if using, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
4-Stir gently to combine everything, making sure the chicken is well coated with the sauce mixture.
5-Cover the slow cooker and cook on the low setting for 6 hours, resisting the urge to peek so the flavors develop fully.
6-Once done, shred the chicken with two forks for a pulled texture that soaks up the sauce.
7-Serve the chicken over cooked rice, on buns, or alongside steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
🌶️ Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat without losing the sweet balance.
🕒 For meal‑prep, combine all ingredients except chicken in a zip‑top bag; add raw chicken on the day you plan to cook.
🍍 If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in 1‑2 tbsp cornstarch mixed with cold water during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
