With just three ingredients, it doesn't get much easier than this crock pot Hawaiian bbq chicken recipe. The Archer Farms Hawaiin-Style barbecue sauce from target already contains many of the spices that make this tasty such as mango and red pepper, so no added seasoning is necessary. If you feel like it, you can add onion and green pepper chunks.
If it's not zippy enough for your liking, try adding a little chipotle Chile Pepper (pictured here, also used in our Copycat Beecher's Macaroni & Cheese recipe).
3-Ingredient Crock Pot Hawaiian BBQ Chicken
- Archer Farms Hawaiian-Style Barbecue Sauce
- 4-6 boneless chicken breasts
- 1 20-oz. can pineapple chunks, drained
Spray your Crock Pot with nonstick cooking spray. Place chicken breasts on the bottom of the Crock Pot. Pour the entire bottle of barbecue sauce and can of pineapple chunks over the chicken breasts. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-6 hours or until chicken pulls apart and shreds easily.
Serve over rice.
Thanks for the inspiration, Six Sisters Stuff!
Archer Farms Hawaiian-Style Barbecue Sauce … I cant find it anywhere!!!! What can I substitute for it?
Target is the only store that carries it, Lisa – but any Hawaiian style barbecue sauce will work.
We first that in Boise ID and fell in love, like every week end visit. But have never found the jarred sauce in FL or LA. Definitely checking target out….and i hate shopping there. lol
What container do we use
I found Lawry’s Hawaiian marinade. Do you think that will work, or is it too thin?
Is it a barbecue-flavored sauce? If so, it may work. Otherwise, it is probably too different.
TOO THIN. it is a great marinade. I think a honey bbq sauce would be better if you cannot find the archer farms brand. I have not tried our target yet, but am planning to.
Sounds yummy! Do you think you could make sandwiches with it?
I was thinking about serving it with buns at a party.
I’m sure you could, Kristen. Let me know how it turns out!
I made this for dinner tonight! I added some jerk seasoning since my hubby and I like it spicy. Served on hamburger buns with pickles and extra bbq sauce. Soooo good and easy! Hubby had seconds and requested it again. I will eat the leftovers for lunch tomorrow!
I’m glad you liked it, Linda! 🙂
This looks great! I’m planning to make it at our Luau birthday party. How many does this recipe feed? I’m also thinking of putting it on the small King’s Hawaiian buns instead of rice.
Thanks!
This looks tasty going to try it tomorrow.
Has anyone tried to freeze the leftovers and make them for dinner at a later date?
Can you use frozen chicken or does this need to be thawed chicken?
i use frozen chicken, do not add water
Had a kick to it. Little spicy for my 5 and 3 year old. If I use just regular BBQ sauce and add honey that might work.
Kraft BBQ sauce …the honey bbq sauce has the perfect amount of honey, not spicy
I didn’t want to make a trip to Target just for barbecue sauce, so used Stubb’s Sweet Heat instead (found at my Kroger’s grocery store in Texas). The recipe tastes great with it and yes, spicy…which is what I expected. Kroger’s has their own brand of Hawaiian Barbecue sauce and I also spotted a Hawaiian marinade sauce, but chose the sauce I used because unlike those, Stubb’s does not contain corn syrup nor artificial ingredients.
That’s a great tip! I’m not sure if I’ve seen Stubb’s Sweet Heat where we live (MN) but I’ll look for it the next time I’m at the grocery store.
I’m in Canada couldn’t find any of the suggested BBQ sauces. Simply used regular BBQ sauce (tony Roma’s) and thickened with a little cornstarch and cold water when it started to thin out in the crock pot
I made this with regular BBQ sauce that I had stocked in my pantry (Sweet Baby Ray’s) and it was fantastic. So good! thanks for this easy recipe.
Sounds yummy!
Do I pour the pineapple juice in the crock pot, as well?
Yes – Everything goes in the crock pot.
you state in your ingrediants to drain the juices so do you drain it or no?
What do you consider the BBQ in regards to 21 day fix?
what container count do you use for 21 day fix?
Probably a dumb question but are you sure the BBQ sauce is fixed approved? Thanks
It sounds yummy and my kids love pineapple
Do you have to count the BBQ sauce? I’m new to the fix world 🙂
I am so confused, these are on the 21 day fix recipes but on several of the recipes the containers it equals are not included. That is why I came here, to find recipes that had the containers listed.
I have not tried the recipe yet, but today, I found Sweet Baby Ray’s “new” Hawaiian Barbeque sauce at Walmart. I am going to try this recipe soon.
Being diabetic I use only 1/2 of the Hawaiian barbecue sauce. Still very good! Not a rice fan I usually eat on chow mein noodles.
what is the serving size on these recipes
Are these questions still being answered?
How many oz of bbq sauce does one use in this recipe?
What if I strained most of the pineapple juice from the chunks, do I add more bbq sauce or run to the store and grab a small can of pineapple juice?
Thanks,
– T
What are the measurements? One red and one purple?
I am attempting this with a honey BBQ sauce like what was mentioned in another comment, hope it turns out good I am excited to try.
Let us know what you think!
What are the container counts??
Each container is a different color corresponding with a food category…fruit, vegetables, protein, etc. The containers are all different sizes…1 cup…1/2 cup…etc. It’s the Beach Body Clean Eating Plan. It’s about eating healthy foods and practicing portion control.
How do I count this on the 21 day fix? What colors?
I’ve made this several times, even good with boneless pork chops.
Hi, I have 2 problems when learning to cook these healthier meals and using my crockpot. Number 1, my chicken breasts always dry out in the crockpot even when cooking over low and come out bland though the liquid in the crockpot is flavorful. Also, when using yogurt to make a dish creamy, my yogurt separates. Any ideas? Thank you for the help!
It would be nice to have the 21 Day Fix cup counts on this recipe.
This looks delicious!! Gonna make it tomorrow. Could you please let us know what the container count is for this recipe?
My guess would be that a serving (about a cup) would have 1 red, 1/2 purple, and 1 orange – has anyone else found something more accurate? Or does that sound correct? (I will have it over rice and add 1-2 yellow)
I sliced a red onion , stir in at the end then serve .. The mixture heats up the onion but you still have some crunch, very delicious….
Could I use bone in thighs for this, and what would the adjustment be on the time?
Can someone please answer the question do you drain the chunk pineapple can or do you empty the entire can juice and all in the crock pot?
