Ingredients
- 1 package of pre-cooked grilled chicken breasts 20 oz/1.25 lb/566 g
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup Italian dressing
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup ketchup
- ¾ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 to 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 can crushed pineapple 398 ml/14 fl oz
- ½ cup water
- Optional if making sandwiches with the meat:
- 1 cup reserved juices from slow cooker
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
Instructions
- Place all your ingredients in the slow cooker and turn it on the low setting. Cook for about 6 to 8 hours, depending on how tender you want your chicken.
- Remove meat from slow cooker.
- Serve solo or on sandwich or slider buns.
- If you want to take this up a notch and have an extra 5 minutes I highly recommend finishing this in a skillet to thicken it slightly for sandwiches. Follow instructions below:
- Transfer the meat to a bowl and drain off excess liquid, reserving ½ to 1 cup of liquid.
- Pour about ¼ of the liquid in a small jar and add corn starch to it to make a slurry. Shake the jar until combined.
- Pour remaining liquid into skillet and heat over medium-high heat for about a minute. Shake jar of slurry again, and add that to the skillet. Cook until thickened then add meat. Stir until well coated.
- Pile it on sandwich or slider buns.
- Serve with a big old Huli Huli Chicken loving smile!
