Three Tulip Blocks

 

You can substitute pork or chicken thighs for the chicken breasts in this recipe. But, as pork is usually more expensive than chicken, and as I’m married to a man who avoids dark meat, this is what we’re having.

 

Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Chicken

 

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1″ pieces

1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks

1 red pepper, coarsely chopped

1 green pepper, coarsely chopped

1 1/4 cups sugar

3/4 cup vinegar

1/2 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons soy sauce

3 tablespoons corn starch

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon minced ginger

 

Place chicken, pineapple and peppers in slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine sugar, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, corn starch, garlic and ginger. Stir well and pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low four hours. Serve over hot rice or noodles. We like ours sprinkled with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds.
