Shredded Hawaiian Chicken - Crockpot Recipe
I wanted sweet, but tangy pulled chicken sandwiches for dinner, but couldn't find a recipe that really caught my eye. Once I picked pineapple as my base taste, I just started adding ingredients and tasting as I added them. The ingredient list seems long, but they're all items I normally have on hand, so after 5 minutes of prep work, the slow cooker does all the rest of the work. Serve this chicken over rice or quinoa or as sandwiches for a tasty meal.

- 1
Start by trimming the fat off of the chicken breasts. Lightly grease the slow cooker and place the breasts down in the bottom.
- 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients EXCEPT for the cold water and cornstarch.
- 3
Pour the pineapple mixture over the chicken breasts.
- 4
Set the slow cooker to low for 6-7 hours (or high for 3-4) depending on how long you'd like to have it cooking.
- 5
Once the cook time is up, take the chicken breasts out of the slow cooker and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. The chicken should be very tender and falling apart. Then using 2 forks or your fingers, shred the chicken. Once shredded, set aside.
- 6
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the cold water and the cornstarch. Carefully transfer the liquid from the crockpot to a medium saucepan. Whisk in the cornstarch slurry and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened (should reach a syrupy consistency)... this will only take a few minutes.
- 7
Toss the shredded chicken in the thickened pineapple sauce and stir to coat it all. Serve immediately. Refrigerate any leftovers.

For serving, we used toasted King's Hawaiian Burger Rolls and topped with melted provolone cheese and pineapple rings. Then used whatever additional toppings we wanted (lettuce, tomatoes, onion, etc...).

This chicken is also pretty tasty served over rice or quinoa, sprinkled with diced pineapple, diced onions, sesamee seeds and scallions -->
