Instructions
- Spray a crock pot with non-stick cooking spray.
- Combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, BBQ sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and sriracha in a large bowl and whisk until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and cover with the pineapple juice mixture.
- Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.
- Combine all of the slaw ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- When the chicken is fully cooked, shred with 2 forks in the sauce and toss. Let it absorb the sauce for another 30 minutes and then serve with the slaw on the flour tortillas and with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese!
