Creating delicious Crock Pot Hawaiian Chicken Sandwiches is a straightforward process that anyone can master. Follow these simple steps for an amazing meal:
1. Prep the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the Crock Pot.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, ground ginger, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Pour Sauce: Pour the sauce over the chicken in the Crock Pot, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
4. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the Crock Pot and set it to low for 4-6 hours, or high for 2-3 hours. Cook until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and easily shreds with a fork.

7. Assemble Sandwiches: Spoon a generous portion of the shredded Hawaiian chicken onto each bun.
8. Top with Slaw: Add a handful of the coleslaw mix on top of the chicken for extra crunch.

10. Serve: Plate your sandwiches and serve them warm.
