Skillet Pineapple BBQ Chicken in Chicken Thigh Recipes,Ooooh, I ate well for lunch today! I whipped up this really easy Skillet Pineapple BBQ Chicken, spooned it over some rice, and fixed a little broccoli for the side. I love skillet chicken dishes because the browning action that you get in a skillet makes super flavorful pan sauces without the need for a million ingredients. This sauce combines sweet pineapple, tangy BBQ sauce, and the savory chicken drippings for a to-die-for sauce. So easy and delicious, so little needed. This is the perfect easy weeknight dinner! You can do this with chicken breasts instead of thighs. I do suggest pounding the chicken breast to an even thickness first to help them cook evenly (You don’t want the tip to get tough and rubbery before the thick part cooks through).

Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs in Chicken Thigh Recipes,Searing the chicken thighs may seem like an annoying step, but trust us, it's worth it.

If you don't want to do it, that's totally fine. You can just throw the chicken in the slow cooker. The sauce, you'll be happy to know, doesn't need any precooking. It just gets poured right in and forgotten about until dinner time.
