Instructions

  • Place 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts into a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Top with 1 (20 ounce can) pineapple slices, juice and all, and then finish it off by slicing 4 tablespoons salted butter to top each chicken breast with a pat of butter.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 2 teaspoons liquid smoke, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons black pepper, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard. Pour half of the sauce over chicken. Cover the other half and refrigerate to reserve for later.
  • Cover and cook 4 to 5 hours on high, or 6 to 8 hours on low.
  • After the chicken has cooked, use a ladle or measuring cup to remove about half of the juices. Then add in the remaining barbecue sauce.
  • Serve the chicken whole, or use forks or tongs to gently shred the chicken and stir it in with all of the sauce and pineapple. Serve the shredded chicken on 6 hoagie rolls, if desired.
