Exquisite Slow Cooker BBQ Hawaiian Chicken Sliders

Ingredients:

  • 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (your preferred brand)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 20 ounces canned pineapple rings in juice, plus extra for garnish
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced (both green and white parts)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 32 Hawaiian-style rolls (slider buns)
  • Optional garnish: sesame seeds
  • Optional: 3 tablespoons butter

Instructions:

  1. Begin by spraying a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray, ensuring even distribution. Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, brown sugar, juice from the canned pineapple, soy sauce, sliced green onions, and minced garlic. Thoroughly mix the ingredients until well incorporated, then pour the mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  3. Take half of the pineapple rings from the can, cut them into bite-sized chunks, and add them to the slow cooker alongside the chicken and sauce.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 4-6 hours, ensuring the chicken is tender and easily shreds.
  5. Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker, adding back 3/4 cup of the cooking liquid to keep it moist and flavorful.
  6. To serve, assemble the shredded chicken on Hawaiian rolls, optionally sprinkling sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal. Garnish with extra pineapple slices if desired, adding a tropical touch to each slider.
