Arrange the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Try to arrange them in a single, even layer to ensure they cook evenly.

Create the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the entire undrained can of pineapple (juice and all), the barbecue sauce, and the soy sauce. Whisk them together until they are well combined into a smooth sauce.

Pour and Cook: Pour the prepared sauce mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker. Ensure the chicken is mostly submerged. Secure the lid on the slow cooker.

Set and Forget: Cook on the LOW setting for 4 to 6 hours, or on the HIGH setting for 2 to 3 hours. The chicken is done when it is cooked through and very tender. You’ll know it’s ready when it easily falls apart when prodded with a fork.

Shred and Soak: Once the cooking time is complete, the magic happens. Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. The tender chicken will shred with minimal effort. Stir the shredded chicken into the delicious sauce, ensuring every piece is coated. Let the chicken sit in the sauce on the “keep warm” setting for another 15-20 minutes to allow it to soak up all that amazing flavor.
