Since Mr. Jax arrived in our lives I have to admit that cooking dinner has not been on my priority list. By the time dinner rolled around I was often exhausted and sometimes cereal was the best I could do. But it has been four months since he arrived so I figured I should probably get my act together. Enter the slow cooker. I received my slow cooker as a wedding present over two years ago but I never used it until a couple weeks ago. Now I find myself wondering why I waited so long. There is usually less than 10 minutes of prep and it cooks the meal for you. To say I am obsessed with the appliance is an understatement.
For the past couple weeks I have also had this recipe and this recipe on one of my Pinterest boards. So, I decided to combine a little bit of both and I ended up with my own recipe. I know I haven’t done a recipe post in a long time but the result was too delicious not to share.
Slow Cooker Hawaiian BBQ Pulled Chicken
3 lbs. boneless chicken breast (Mine were still frozen)
1 bottle Hawaiian BBQ sauce (I used one from Target–Archer Farms brand)
1 cup frozen pineapple (could use canned but drain first)
4 ounces amber beer
1 teaspoon onion powder
1. Add the chicken to the bottom of the slow cooker. Cover with BBQ sauce, beer, pineapple, and onion powder.
2. Cook on HIGH for 4-6 hours of LOW for 8-10 hours.
3. Remove chicken, shred and add back to sauce mixture allowing the flavors to mix for another 30 minutes on LOW.
3. Serve over steamed rice or on hamburger bun.
Enjoy!
ohhhhh my goodness, this sounds so good. mmmm…
