Pineapple Barbeque Pulled Chicken Sandwiches

Recipe adapted from Tasty Kitchen


Ingredients
1 ½  pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, thighs or combination of both (I used breast)
1 cup chopped onion (small dice)
½ can (20 Oz. Size) crushed pineapple (drained, juice reserved)
1/3 cup reserved pineapple juice
2 cups BBQ Sauce Of Your Choice (I used Sweet Baby Rays)
Whole wheat sandwich buns

To Freeze: Place all ingredients in a gallon size freezer bag. Seal and freeze!
To Prepare: Thaw overnight. Empty contents of bag into crockpot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, high 4-5 hours.  1-2 hours before done, remove chicken and shred. Return chicken to crockpot and stir. Finish cooking. This will allow the chicken to soak up the sauce.
To Serve: Serving size is approximately ½ cup on bun, top with coleslaw if desired.

Classic Coleslaw:
1/2 cup nonfat Greek-style yogurt, or 2/3 cup regular plain nonfat yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 bag shredded coleslaw mix (16 oz)

Note: We found the flavor for both the chicken and coleslaw better the next day!
