What is Chick-fil-A Polynesian Sauce?
Chick-fil-A is a fast food restaurant that serves tasty chicken sandwiches and nuggets and Polynesian Sauce is their second most popular dipping sauce. Polynesian Sauce is a mix between Sweet and Sour and BBQ Sauce. It has a bold flavor that works perfectly for this all in one dinner. If you have never tried this sauce you are in store for flavor explosion! It’s like your favorite Sweet and Sour Sauce but better. My husband was blown away by how delicious it was in this meal.
If you happen to have a Chick-fil-A near you know how delectable all their dipping sauces are. I recently made another Chick-fil-A recipe using their equally yummy Chick-fil-A sauce in a casserole.
All the recipes I create are made gluten-free because my husband has celiac disease, which means he is allergic to gluten. I always get excited when I find a new sauce, like this Chick-fil-A Polynesian Sauce, that is gluten free. This is especially true for Asian sauces because a lot of the time they include soy sauce which has gluten in it.

Chick-fil-A Sauces Are Now In Store!!
Now you can have your Chick-fil-A fix even at home. You can now pick up Chick-fil-A’s Polynesian Sauce in local grocery stores, Walmart, Target and on Amazon!
I was shopping one day at Walmart and saw they had the Chick-fil-A Sauce and Chick-fil-A Polynesian Sauce in the condiment section so I had to pick them up and take them home immediately. As as bonus, 100% of the proceeds from the sauce sold in stores is used to give Chick-fil-A employees scholarships!
I am a BIG fan of Chick-fil-A!! I didn’t have a Chick-fil-A in Tucson when I was growing up so I was late to the Chick-fil-A game. However, we now have one 5 minutes from our house so I have made up for lost time. My kids especially love there food which gives me even more of a reason to go. We have even done a Chick-fil-A tour and I have a post about Chick-fil-A tips and tricks. I really mean it when I say I love Chick-fil-A.
Easy Week Night Dinner
Next step was coming up a new idea of how to serve this sauce instead of just dipping it in my nuggets and fries. This chicken dinner is so easy to whip up so it makes a simple dinner to toss into the slow cooker around lunch time and have it ready for dinner! You only need 5 ingredients to make this dinner and just a little chopping is required.
Whenever I make meals that include rice I always use my rice maker. This really makes dinner a breeze because I don’t have to make it when I get home. You can turn it on in the morning and set the timer for 5pm. I use the Zojirushi Rice Maker which is amazing. It has a timer (which I always use) and setting for brown or white rice which is helpful. Rice always comes out fluffy and just right!

Do you know if this could be made in an instant pot? Curious on the about of time to cook.
Marilyn says
Your recipe doesn’t mention cubing the chicken breasts yet your pic looks like the chicken is cubed. Do you cook the chicken breast whole in the crockpot or cube before they’re cooked?
Allison Treadwell says
I have done it both ways. Cubed chicken cooks faster so that would be the only change to the recipe. Enjoy!
