The Hawaiian Chicken Recipe

I love easy weeknight meals, and this is easy with a capital E. It only takes a few minutes to prep and make.

It’s perfect for someone like me who comes home from a long day at work and wants to whip up something fast. It’s also fairly easy to throw into the slow cooker and cook all day, but I like the Instant Pot method for this recipe.

How do I make Hawaiian Chicken?

Making Hawaiian Chicken is fairly easy and a perfect beginner recipe for the Instant Pot.

First, place your trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot and add about a cup of water (depending on the size of the Instant Pot) and a tablespoon of the pineapple juice. Next, mix together your Dole pineapple tidbits and the barbecue sauce.
