Ingredients

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
15 ounces canned crushed pineapple
1.5 cups barbecue sauce

Instructions

Dice 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts into about 1 inch cube pieces.
Transfer the chicken to the crock pot. Add 15 ounces canned crushed pineapple and 1.5 cups barbecue sauce. Stir the ingredients to combine them.
Cover and cook on Low heat for 3.5 - 4 hours or High for 2 - 2.5 hours. *If using frozen diced chicken, add an additional 30-45 minutes to the cook time.
When it's done cooking, the chicken should be at least 165°F (74°C) and fork tender, and the sauce should be simmering and thickened slightly.
Carefully open the lid and spoon the chicken mixture onto plates. Garnish with lime and chopped cilantro (optional).
