Take-out Tuesday, BBQ Chicken Tacos with Broccoli Pineapple Slaw
I have been using Shipt grocery delivery at the beach house
even before Covid 19 because it is so convenient
I wanted to make something easy for the boys supper time arrival last Thursday,
they love tacos, they love BBQ, they love pineapple…
BBQ chicken in the slow cooker would be perfect for a taco dinner!
I decided to make BBQ Chicken tacos topped with a fruit filled slaw
Put the chicken into a sprayed slow cooker and cover with BBQ sauce
Cook on high 3-4 hours {low 6-8}
Your chicken will be so tender you can shred it with 2 forks
I wanted to make Pineapple Coleslaw from Happier Than a Pig in Mud
But when my shopper text me that the coleslaw mix on my list wasn’t available,
she suggested broccoli slaw
Hmmm…. that would actually be even better!
I could make a variation of one of our favorites
This slaw starts with Broccoli Slaw mix in a bag
and gets the irresistible addition of fresh pineapple,
red grapes, bacon and cheese
I dressed the slaw with a dash of rice vinegar and seasoned it with salt & pepper
Then I decided to add just a touch of honey mustard to bind it together
With all the goodies this slaw has in it, even picky eaters won’t notice the broccoli!
I lightly fried flour tortillas in a scant about of olive oil and butter
to use as the taco shell
This meal is also super easy because everyone can help themselves
and build their own taco
Pile shredded BBQ chicken on a tortilla
Top with slaw
Fold it over and dinner is ready!

This looks yummy, fresh and delish!
And your table is so inviting. Thank you for always giving us inspiration!
Have a lovely Tuesday!
You are so welcome, thank you Nancy!
Jenna, this looks like a perfect summertime lunch or dinner. The broccoli-pineapple slaw is the finishing touch for the BBQ chicken. I know your guys enjoyed.
The weather here is hot and muggy with daily rain. Wishing you a beautiful Tuesday!
A new summer favorite, it was gobbled up! I got a video from my son yesterday of the sheets of rain coming off our roof, wow! The weather has been really nice here, hot but breezy, hope it holds through the 4th!
That taco looks amazing! And pineapple…Oh I do love me some pineapple. Happy Tuesday. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Hi Cindy, this meal was a big hit!
That salad looks really good and so simple. Very refreshing in the summer. I’ll have to add the broccoli slaw, pineapple and grapes to my list. Thanks for this one! (Good idea on the tacos. The lazy of us could jazz up rotisserie chicken and enjoy!)
This is a tasty salad, lots of sweet and savory going on, thanks Jeanie!
Jenna, this was a great meal for everyone. Easy, satisfying and delicious! I don’t know how you beat that…….Have a great Fourth.
Everybody loved it, thanks Emily!
Sounds like a great meal Jenna! I do have broccoli slaw on my list to add to my series, looking forward to trying it:@)
I think you’ll love it! I still want to make your pineapple coleslaw when I can get the ingredients…
The BBQ chicken sounds good. The broccoli slaw with BACON sounds good. Together in a taco would be delicious!
Yes! We gobbled these up!
Yum Jenna! We would love this! ♥
We all loved it, even got my “no vegetable” grandson to eat the slaw!
What a great combo, Jenna, and the broccoli slaw turned out to be a win! I like the ease of the bbq chicken. Thank you, as always.
thanks Kitty, we all gobbled this up and it was so easy!
I love tacos. I like to put cabbage in mine, but the broccoli slaw looks like it can make a good substitute. Does it hold up to the heat from the chicken? I use online grocery orders and parking lot pickup. They make substitutes, but I don’t get a call. I can approve or reject the substitutes online before I pick up my order. – Margy
yes, the broccoli slaw does hold up well, and is also good for several days in the fridge. I’ve never tried curb side pick up, that’s great that they do subs for you. Shipt has really spoiled me, right to my door and the shoppers text constantly to check on substitutions, and the ones I’ve had lately have done really good jobs! Thanks Margy!
