My kids often ask for chicken sloppy joes, and this version has a bonus of sweet pineapple. It is a perfect recipe to double for a potluck. Try topping the sandwiches with smoked Gouda cheese. —Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada

Ingredients

2-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 bottle (18 ounces) sweet and spicy barbecue sauce, divided
2 tablespoons honey mustard
1 can (8 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple, undrained
8 hamburger buns, split and toasted

Directions

Place chicken breasts in a 4-quart slow cooker. Combine 1/4 cup barbecue sauce and the mustard; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until chicken is tender.
Remove chicken; discard liquid. Shred chicken with 2 forks; return to slow cooker. Add crushed pineapple and remaining barbecue sauce; cover and cook on high for 15 minutes.
