Transfer the marinated chicken to your slow cooker. Add the tomato paste, pineapple juice, chicken stock powder and water. Mix well, place the lid on and cook on high for 4 hours. Remove the lid and shred the chicken with two forks. Return the chicken to the juices in the slow cooker and keep warm until ready to serve.
