Slow Cooker Chicken Quesadilla
These Crock Pot BBQ Chicken & Pineapple Quesadillas with melted cheese are an easy Crock Pot meal you can set and forget that your whole family will love!
About a month ago, all of my family was home for a weekend, and my mom asked me to make something for dinner as usual. I struggle a bit with what to make for my siblings, because I love trying different things like Honey Sriracha Meatball Bowls or Baked Honey Feta Squash Salad. Most of my family are pretty stuck in their box of hot dish and roasts that we grew up with. So while I like to push their boundaries a little, I try not to take it too far.
Quick and Easy Dinner Recipe
I had a photoshoot in my home-studio that afternoon, so I wanted a quick and easy recipe that wouldn’t take a lot of time. I got to thinking, everyone loves BBQ chicken with melted cheese, right?! But that would just be too simple, so I added some pineapple to the mix. I just love the sweet, juicy pineapple paired with something savory.
Family Friendly Recipe
I decided to hold off on adding the pineapple into the Crock Pot for these Crock Pot Chicken Quesadillas to make it more of a family friendly recipe. We have a couple of picky eaters who don’t like pineapple on savory things…ahem my sister-in-law, so I tried to accommodate everyone
By leaving it off, I was able to leave the pineapple off of their quesadillas before grilling them up, while the rest of us got to enjoy the fresh fruit mixed in. If you want to streamline this meal, simply add a drained large can of pineapple tidbits to the Crock Pot to cut out a step.
Surprisingly enough, everyone was a fan, picky eaters and all! My sister-in-law actually just requested this recipe, so I thought I would get it up on the blog for everyone to enjoy!

Notes
If you don’t have fresh pineapple, canned chunks or slices of pineapple will work.
