Start by spraying crock-pot with Pam or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Place thawed chicken breasts into slow cooker and poke each piece a few times with a fork to allow sauce and pineapple to better penetrate when cooking. Season with salt, pepper, and other spices.
Cover with bottle of BBQ sauce and can of drained, crushed pineapple.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours - or - HIGH for 2-3 hours.
Shred the chicken with a fork by taking the chicken out of the crock pot and shredding in a bowl (since this recipe turns out so juicy). Then transfer the chicken back into the crock pot to let it soak up the rest of the flavors for about 10-15 more minutes.
Serve in tacos or over brown rice with veggies. The original recipe recommends it in corn tortillas with avocado, coleslaw, and mango salsa!
Notes:
This will keep for up to two weeks in a Tupperware container in the fridge, it also freezes really well too!
