Pulled Teriyaki Chicken Sliders just scream summer to me! It is currently March and I’m sitting here typing away wrapped in a blanket wearing wool socks and hoodie. Ugh. Maybe if I cook like it is summer Mother Nature will get the hint, right?

Pineapple is definitely a favorite in my family. Especially pineapple that is of the *fresh* variety. Yes, they can be a pain in the rear to cut up, but it is ohhh so worth it. The hint to cutting fresh pineapple is a super fantastic knife. I cut my pineapples with ease thanks to my this little guy. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without him. Actually, I do. You can read more about that time here, I just don’t like remembering that nightmare. 😉

The sauce is so simple. Literally soy sauce, sugar, crushed pineapple and garlic. I cooked my chicken breast in the sauce in my Instant Pot, but you could definitely do this in your crockpot too. Whatever floats your boat. 🙂 I thickened the sauce up a bit, you know to drizzle over the shredded chicken.  Slap the chicken on a toasted bun with some grilled pineapple and you’ve got yourself a deliciously summer tasting sandwich. My taste buds are doing a happy dance just thinking about it.Pulled Teriyaki Chicken Sliders are full of the sweet and tangy flavors from the made from scratch teriyaki sauce; paired with grilled pineapple, melty cheese and a toasted bun this fun meal is a guaranteed winner.

      Hi, Christie! It really depends on how much chicken your looking to have on each slider. I can usually make 8 sliders or 4-6 bigger sandwiches. You can definitely add in a second chicken breast if you want! The recipe already makes quite a bit of sauce, so you shouldn’t have to double that. Just make sure that the chicken breasts are 1 inch thick and that they aren’t stacked at all and you should be good to go! If they do overlap a bit I would just bump the cook time up to 7 minutes to make sure that the overlapped part gets cooked all the way through. Hope this helps!!

      Hi Feliz! Place all ingredients in the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours or until the chicken shreds easily. To thicken the sauce for the sandwich, you’ll want to transfer it to a saucepan and simmer on the stovetop until thickened. ? hope this helps!
