Instructions:
- Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer.
- Mix the sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple juice, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, ensuring that the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
- Add the pineapple chunks: Scatter the drained pineapple chunks over the top of the chicken and sauce mixture in the slow cooker.
- Cook on low heat: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Alternatively, you can cook on high heat for 3-4 hours if you're short on time.
- Shred the chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the sauce and pineapple chunks for even flavor distribution.
- Serve and garnish: Serve the Sweet Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken hot over cooked rice or with your choice of side dishes. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for a touch of freshness and texture, if desired.
