Instant pot Hawaiian BBQ chicken sandwiches make an easy meal. 

Whenever I have a busy week ahead, I always put this delicious recipe on the menu plan. The instant pot makes it so quick and easy while the flavor can’t be beat.

I have never met a crowd that didn’t love these tangy sandwiches. The meat is really tender and you will think it was slow cooked all day. Serve it for family dinner, parties and more and be prepared for everyone to want the recipe.

If we are going to be gone all day, I make our Crock Pot Hawaiian BBQ Chicken or even our Hawaiian Pork Chops Recipe. With such yummy options, dinner is a breeze. Whether you use the slow cooker or pressure cooker, you will love this recipe.

Why we love this recipe:

• They are fast to make and feed a crowd. The entire family will love them.
• This recipe is budget friendly. You won’t ruin your grocery budget with these sandwiches.
• The Hawaiian sandwiches have just a hint of sweetness from the pineapple. Combine that with the tang from the BBQ sauce and you have an amazing meal.
• It’s versatile and easy to also serve on sliders for parties or kids. Sliders are always fun and tasty.
• Chicken breasts are delicious but you can easily substitute chicken thighs too. Use what you have! We are fans of seeing what is in the freezer first or on sale at the grocery store.

Supplies you need:

• Instant Pot – I love the 8 quart size and love it. You can see all the options here.

How to make Instant pot Hawaiian bbq chicken:

First, add the chicken and onions in the pressure cooker.  Place the pineapple with juice on top of the chicken and pour the BBQ sauce over everything.

Second, put the lid on and make sure it is set to sealing. Use the manual button and set the pressure time for 25 minutes.

Once finished cooking, manually remove the pressure.

Lastly, shred the chicken. The meat should be tender so this will be easy.

How to serve:

• The shredded chicken is awesome on buns such as ciabatta, rolls, hamburger buns or anything you have.
• Make sliders if you want smaller portions.
• We serve with coleslaw on top but this is optional if you have kiddos that don’t care for this. Make sure to try the best coleslaw recipe.
• Leftovers are great on baked potatoes or sweet potatoes. We often serve this the following day and it’s always a hit. It makes a great lunch too.
