Slow Cooker Hawaiian BBQ Chicken

A week or two ago, my colleague suggested I implement a 5-star rating to indicate just how much we liked the meal I was dishing about.  She said she would be more likely to try a recipe I ranked with 5 stars than one I'd only awarded, say, a 3.  I told her I'd consider it.  Well, until I actually get that up and running:

Chris -- this would be a 5!

Talk about an easy and delicious dinner!  This puppy literally took 3 ingredients, 2 minutes to prepare, 6 hours to cook (all on its own), made 8 servings, and took 1 bite to become a new favorite.  And really, what's to be wrong with chicken, bbq sauce, and pineapple.  I mean, really.

This made enough for the hubs and I to have dinner last night, lunch for today, and another healthy 4 servings packaged into the freezer.  Plenty.

Just one little note -- when you get home or go over and look at the slow cooker and see all that extra sauce, fret not.  When you shred up the chicken, the sauce becomes the perfect amount (even for you, mom!).  And, if you're worried about the pineapple disintegrate during the low and slow cooking process, worry not.  They stay whole.

A new shredded chicken recipe for me, for sure.
