hawaiian bbq chicken over steamed rice

spray the inside of your slow cooker with canola oil cooking spray, then place 1.5 pounds of fresh boneless skinless chicken breast in, covered with one 16 ounce bottle of your favorite bbq sauce (I used Kroger's Honey BBQ). place one can of pineapple slices spread out covering the chicken, then pour half of the pinapple juice over top. cook over low heat for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours. after cooking, shred chicken with two forks and mix everything. serve with steamed basmati rice. makes 6 large servings.

one serving of hawaiian bbq chicken: 315 calories | 3/4 cup of cooked rice: 144 calories
one hearty meal: 459 calories
