I have a wonderfully easy and fabulous tasting crock pot recipe for you all today! These sandwiches are seriously super delicious. The chicken is slow cooked in a wonderful sweet and sour, Hawaiian sauce. Shredded and placed on a bun, the chicken is topped with a terrific coleslaw that gives the sandwich both great texture and flavor.
Hope some of you get a chance to try them. They are perfect for summer (when you don’t want to turn on your oven!)
Enjoy!
Crock Pot Pineapple Chicken Sandwiches
Ingredients
CHICKEN:
1 medium onion, chopped
2 Tb butter
1/4 C flour
2 C pineapple juice
1 C brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 C ketchup
1 Tb soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
3 pounds chicken breasts
COLE SLAW:
1 1/3 C mayonnaise (I used Best Foods Light)
1/4 C apple cider vinegar
1/3 C sugar
1/2 tsp ground mustard
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 (14 ounce) bag of coleslaw salad mix
6-8 rolls
Instructions
1. In a large deep skillet, melt the butter. Add the onions and cook until translucent.
2. In a separate bowl whisk together the pineapple juice, brown sugar, garlic, ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder and ginger.
3. To the skillet, add the flour and stir it in. It will look kind of pasty.
4. Add the pineapple juice mixture to the skillet and stir. Allow it to come to a simmer while stirring and cook it for 5 minutes. It will start to thicken up for you.
5. Place the chicken in a 3-4 quart crock pot. Pour the sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
6. Remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred with two forks. Add it back to the crock pot and allow it to cook for another 30 minutes.
7. Top make the coleslaw, stir together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, ground mustard, onion powder, salt and pepper. Pour it over the the top of the coleslaw mix and stir to combine.
8. Serve the chicken, topped with coleslaw on a nice roll.
Enjoy!

Sounds easy and delicious, Jamie — 2 things that are near and dear to my heart. So I am definitely going to give it a try in the next couple of days and will let you know what we thought of it. Thanks for passing this along to us, and have a very nice day!
Hi Jamie, I made your delicious recipe for Crockpot Hawaiian Chicken sandwiches, and it was so tasty. My husband (a very picky eater), and I really liked it and gave it a big thumbs-up, so I’d recommend it to everyone. Thanks again for the great recipes, Jamie.

Hi Jamie, these look incredible! I’m hoping to make this recipe for a family dinner this weekend, but my mother is allergic to tropical fruits and won’t do well with the pineapple juice- do you have any suggestions for a substitute? Would orange juice alter the flavor too much?

It seems like a lot of liquid for 1/4 cup flour? 2 cups pineapple juice and 1 cup brown sugar? Is this very sweet?
I have made this a few times and is really good. I’m not a sweet person so cut the brown sugar I’m half and love it.

If we have leftovers of the chicken, can it be frozen?
Krista,
I haven’t ever tried freezing it, but I think it would work out fairly well. The texture might be a bit different once reheated. Let me know if you try it and how it works out.
Best of luck!

Do you have an instant pot conversion? ?
Your recipes seem fantastic and family friendly, but an ad pops up in front of EVERY. PICTURE. no matter how many times I close out of it. It’s frustrating enough to skip your blog altogether.
This was so delicious and simple. I’ll be putting this one in the rotation and looking for more of your ideas.
How much chicken do you use?
Can this be frozen? I am trying to come up with some ideas for quick and easy lunches. I realize that I won’t be able to freeze the cole slaw, HaHa, but was hoping that the chicken mixture could be prepared ahead of time.
Hi Donna,
I haven’t ever tried to freeze this, but my thoughts are that it wouldn’t work super well. Often sauces that been thickened with flour or cornstarch don’t often freeze well. The sauce gets kind of grainy and not as smooth. Hope this helps and best of luck to you!
