Cover and cook on Low until the chicken is ready to shred, 4 to 5 hours.
3

Remove the chicken, shred it with 2 forks, and return it to the slow cooker.

Break up the pineapple chunks and add them to the slow cooker with 1/4 cup of pineapple juice (or more to taste) and the onion slices. Cook on Low until the sauce is bubbling and fragrant, 1 to 2 hours.
