Servings: 4 bowls
Calories: 426kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken breast or thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups Whole30 BBQ Sauce
  • 2 cups pineapple chunks
  • 1 red onion, chopped into chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped into chunks
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 12 oz cauliflower rice

optional garnish: cooked & chopped Whole30 compliant bacon and sliced green onion

    Instructions

    Directions for the Slow Cooker:

    • To a slow cooker, add the chicken, BBQ sauce, pineapple, onion, bell pepper, and garlic.
    • Cook for 6 hours on "Low".
    • Steam the cauliflower rice in a saucepan on the stovetop or in the microwave for a couple of minutes at a time until warmed through and softened.
    • Scoop the Hawaiian BBQ Chicken mixture over the steamed cauliflower rice, and top with chopped bacon & sliced green onion.

    Directions for the Instant Pot:

    • To the instant pot, add the chicken, BBQ sauce, onion, bell pepper, and garlic.
    • Put the lid on and set the valve to sealing.  Set to cook on manual high pressure for 12 minutes.
    • Allow it to natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then release the remaining steam if needed and remove the lid.
    • Stir in the pineapple chunks and set to keep warm until the mixture is heated through.
    • Steam the cauliflower rice in a saucepan on the stovetop or in the microwave for a couple of minutes at a time until warmed through and softened.
    • Scoop the Hawaiian BBQ Chicken mixture over the steamed cauliflower rice, and top with chopped bacon & sliced green onion.

    Notes

    • I love this over cauliflower rice, but it's an easy one to switch up if you're feeding others who do eat grains - just sub white rice.
    • If you don't want to make your own BBQ sauce, find a compliant one in a local store, or try one like this from Amazon.
