My husband and I think this recipe is terrific! I used Sweet Baby Ray's regular BBQ sauce. I would love to make it again. I can see where one could get a lot of variety with this recipe, just by using different BBQ sauces.

Great recipe!!!! I tried it over rice & also shredded it & had it on a bun as a pulled BBQ sandwich & loved it more that way. This will be recommended by me as a great & easy recipe. Thanks for sharing it :)

The whole family loved it. It only took 5 minutes to prepare if that. The kids loved it as well. I put extra pineapple and bell pepper.

I cut the recipe in half for my son and me. I did not need a whole bottle of barbecue sauce. My son really liked it. It was great over rice with green beans on the side.

This recipe is always a hit with my family. I do not like cooked fruit so I just use a small can of pineapple juice. I am a picky eater so the green pepper is always left out and I use minced onions so they are less noticeable. Rice is good but I serve this dish with mashed potatoes which goes great with the leftover sauce. The chicken always comes out tender and juicy. Thanks so very much for this recipe!

This receipe sounded so good that I tried it. However, I only have a 3.5 qt. slow cooker. No problem I cut the receipe in half and shortened the cooking time by a couple of hours. So good!
