Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of your crockpot. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, pineapple chunks, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well blended.
Pour the pineapple BBQ sauce mixture over the seasoned chicken, ensuring each piece is coated. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
Once cooking time is up, remove the chicken and shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and mix it thoroughly with the remaining sauce. Let it sit for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Serve the chicken on plates, garnishing with freshly chopped green onions.
