Weight Watchers-Friendly Hawaiian Shredded Chicken
Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (0 points)
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained (0 points)
½ yellow onion, thinly sliced (0 points)
1 cup reduced-sugar BBQ sauce (3-4 points per 1/4 cup, depending on brand)
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (0 points)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (0 points)
2 teaspoons garlic powder (0 points)
1 teaspoon onion powder (0 points)
½ teaspoon ground ginger (0 points)
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
Arrange the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add Ingredients:
Add the crushed pineapple, sliced onion, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and ginger to the slow cooker.
Mix everything together to coat the chicken breasts evenly.
Cook:
Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours. Avoid removing the lid while the chicken cooks to ensure it stays moist.
Reduce Sauce (Optional):
If the sauce is still thin after the chicken is cooked, remove the lid and cook on high for an additional 15-30 minutes to allow more liquid to evaporate.
Shred the Chicken:
Once the chicken is fully cooked, use two large forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the sauce.
Serve:
Serve the Hawaiian Shredded Chicken over a bed of cauliflower rice, in lettuce wraps, or with a side of steamed vegetables for a low-point meal.


Weight Watchers Points
The total points for this recipe will depend on the brand of BBQ sauce you use. Reduced-sugar BBQ sauce generally ranges from 3-4 points per 1/4 cup. If using a BBQ sauce that is 3 points per 1/4 cup, the entire recipe will be around 12 points. Divide by 6 servings, and it comes to about 2 points per serving.
Tips
Choose Your BBQ Sauce Wisely: Using a reduced-sugar BBQ sauce will significantly lower the points. Look for one with 3 points or less per 1/4 cup.
Add Veggies: For extra bulk and nutrition, consider adding bell peppers, zucchini, or carrots to the slow cooker along with the chicken.
Leftovers: This dish freezes well, so you can make a big batch and freeze portions for easy, low-point meals later on.
