Crock Pot Hawaiian BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches
Mondays are extremely busy for me as I usually don’t get home until 8:30 pm, making it a LONGGGG day. Since, I don’t get home until late and eat with my eating disorder patients, I usually try to put something in the crock pot for Mr. Healthy Junky, because lets be real, he would be eating PB &J’s every Monday if that was the case. Can we say spoiled?
I saw this recipe on Tasty Kitchen Blog and knew Andy would love this as he is a huge chicken fan. I am glad to make chicken on Monday’s as I am not a big fan and therefore won’t be eating it.
Andy raved about this recipe, so if you are looking for something easy, give this recipe a try. “You won’t be disappointed” states the sampler.
Hawaiian BBQ Pulled Chicken
From My Retro Kitchen
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds Boneless Chicken Breast, Thighs Or A Combo Of The Two
- 1 whole Onion (large), Sliced Into Chunks
- 1 can (20 Oz. Size) Pineapple (Nibblits)
- 1 bottle (18 oz. Size) BBQ Sauce Of Your Choice (I used Sweet Baby Ray’s)
- Hamburger Buns Or Kaiser Rolls
If you use frozen chicken, make sure it is completely defrosted. If you cook it frozen, it will indeed cook but it will make a very “wet” sauce. Place your chicken in the bottom of the crock pot. Top with onions, then pineapple. Pour the entire bottle of BBQ sauce over the whole thing.
Note: If you want a sweeter BBQ, add up to half a cup of the pineapple juice you drained, depending on how sweet you want it. This is optional.
Turn your crock pot on LOW and cook for 8–10 hours (or on HIGH for 4–6).
An hour or two before it is finished cooking, carefully remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Place chicken back in the crock pot and stir well to combine. Finish cooking an additional hour or two so the chicken can absorb most of the sauce. Serve on hamburger buns or whatever you prefer.
Place chicken in the bottom of a crock pot.
Top with onions of your choice, I used red.
Top with pineapples.
Top with your favorite BBQ sauce and turn that crock pot on low for a few hours.
I also added some cayenne pepper as Andy likes his food spicy.
After shredding the chicken, serve on a Kaiser Roll, Bun, or Bread.
Enjoy!
Considering I seem to pick up a bottle of BBQ every time I make something new (always thinking I don’t have enough on hand), I should really do this sometime to use it…

I made this and loved it! But put too much pineapple juice in… it was a little runny and couldnt use the buns like in the pic… but definitely a hit, super easy and delicious!
