Hawaiian Pulled Chicken Sandwiches

This recipe was a bit of an experiment (a combination of a couple of different recipes) but ended up being delicious! Good barbeque and tomato flavors and the pineapple added a sweetness to it. We both liked it a lot!

Hawaiian Pulled Chicken Sandwiches

Ingredients:

• 20 oz can of pineapple chunks
• Medium onion (diced)
• 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar
• 1/3 cup of brown sugar
• 3 tbsp of honey
• 1 tbsp of paprika
• 6 oz of tomato paste
• 2 tbsp of minced garlic
• 2 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce 
• 1 can of diced tomatoes
• 3 chicken breasts

Ingredients for Serving:

• Sandwich or hamburger buns (we used whole wheat hoagie buns)
• Cheese (we used Colby Jack)
• Lettuce or spinach
• Barbeque sauce 
• Tomato (sliced)
• Pickles (sweet or dill) 
• Caramelized onions 

Directions:

1. Combine all of the ingredients (except the chicken) in a crockpot.
2. Mix well.
3. Add chicken; push the chicken down so that it is covered by sauce.
4. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
5. Shortly before serving, take the chicken out of crockpot and shred with a fork (it should be well enough cooked that it falls apart).
6. Put shredded chicken back into crockpot for a short amount of time to reabsorb the flavors (10-15 minutes).
7. Serve on a bun with any desired sandwich toppings.
