4-6 frozen chicken breasts
1 bottle Market Pantry (Target) Hawaiian BBQ Sauce
1 can crushed pineapple
Mix ingredients in crockpot and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours. Serve over rice.
The author of the blog that this pin came from originally has since deleted the post containing the recipe, but it was super basic and looked great so I decided to give it a try. We love chicken. We love BBQ sauce. We love pineapple. We did not love this recipe! I think there are 2 main reasons that this did not turn out well. In my crockpot experience I have learned that some BBQ sauces taste much better than others after slow cooking. In general honey and hickory sauces do better, while plain BBQ sauces tend to taste a little more "over-done" or almost a bit burned after 6+ hours of cooking.
This particular sauce had bits of fruit in the sauce- hence the "Hawaiian" label. It also had some kick to it which intensified greatly after its time in the slow cooker. The end result was a very moist and tender chicken, but the sauce had become a bitter, spicy, mushy disaster.
I will definitely try this recipe again, but will we use our tried and true Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce and will try pineapple chunks instead of crushed to make the sauce less mushy! Looking forward to giving it another go and seeing how it turns out next time. Cooking is always an adventure!
