An easy and delicious dinner of Hawaiian BBQ chicken over rice, the perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors.
I’ve made this hawaiian bbq chicken before. It’s delicious, and easy, and it’s got just the perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors.
I edited the recipe ever so slightly from last time, with the same ingredients, but there are slightly different amounts and they are added at slightly different times now to keep the chicken mixture from being too watery.
This is the perfect weeknight meal because its easy, quick, healthy and delicious!

A salad, corn, or any other veggies your family likes would be great!

Hi there Aimee! I made this yesterday…it smelled great while it was cooking, and it was just awesome!!! I just had leftovers for tonight’s supper. Thank so much for such a great recipe. Have a great week!
Dawn says
Thanks Aimee! I’m looking forward to trying this…maybe this weekend! 🙂
Dawn says
I just came across this recipe on Pinterest, and it looks wonderful. I have one question though: After you shred the chicken, and the rest of the remaining ingredients, how much longer does it need to cook? Unless I’m simply missing it, the recipe says to continue cooking on low, but not for how long. Thanks!
Aimee Berrett says
Thanks Dawn, the chicken will be cooked by then – I just leave it in the crock pot to stay warm and soak up more of the sauce. Just leave it for about 30 minutes or so while you’re rice is cooking!
Shay says
What kind of teriyaki sauce do you use?
Aimee Berrett says
I have used a couple different brands of teriyaki sauce for this recipe. Most recently-, Lawry’s

I made a variation of this a couple weeks ago – Just BBQ sauce, no teriyaki. Drained the pineapple. It wasn’t watery at all. (Used a big bottle of bbq sauce.) It was super easy!!
Aimee Berrett says
Sounds delicious with just the pineapple and bbq. Glad you liked it too!
Lisa Reid says
Sounds amazing! Step #6 says “lots of sauce”. Do you recommend topping with BBQ or Teriyaki? Or is there enough in the crockpot and that’s what you use??
Aimee Berrett says
You drain the juices from the crockpot cause its very watery, but then you add BBQ and teriyaki back in with the chicken and there should be a lot to go over the rice too!

Are you calling for boneless breasts or bone in? This sounds delicious and I only need to add the teriyaki sauce to the grocery list to add to the menu to make.
Aimee Berrett says
Boneless chicken breasts, though really if you prefer bone in I’m sure it would cook fine, just might be harder to shred
knitplaywithfire says
I figured it was boneless but wanted to be sure. And bone in are not hard to shred either.
Tammy says
Question on step 5: where you shred the chicken and add additional BBQ sauce, teriyaki sauce and pineapple to the crockpot. Do you jus use the Juice from what was left in the crockpot.
Aimee Berrett says
In step 4 I drained most of the liquid out of the crock pot. The reason I don’t use that juice is because it is very watery and not very flavorful after cooking for so many hours!
