Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 medium Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 1 can (20 oz) Pineapple chunks (with juice)
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 cup Sweet and sour sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and season with salt and black pepper.
Chop the bell peppers and onion into 1-inch pieces.
In the crockpot, add the diced chicken, chopped bell peppers, onion, and the entire can of pineapple chunks along with the juice.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the crockpot.
Stir gently to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the sauce coats the chicken and vegetables evenly.
Cover with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours or on high heat for 2 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
About 30 minutes before the cooking time ends, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Add this to the crockpot and stir well. This will help thicken the sauce.
Cook for the remaining 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Serve the sweet and sour chicken hot over cooked white or brown rice, if desired, and enjoy!
