Slow Cooker Sweet 'n Sour Chicken

From a slow cooker cookbook whose name I can’t remember. It’s different in taste and color than this Sweet ‘n Sour Pork recipe, though the ingredients are quite similar.

This recipe works best in a 5 quart slow cooker.

Yields: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. baby carrots
  • 1 medium-sized onion, cut into wedges
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 20-oz. can unsweetened pineapple chunks
  • 1⁄3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tsp. chicken bouillon granules
  • 1⁄2 tsp. salt
  • 1⁄2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1⁄4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 3 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1⁄4 cup water
  • 3 cups cooked long grain enriched rice

Directions

  • Layer carrots and onion in slow cooker.
  • Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Place pineapple chunks over chicken.
  • Mix together pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, chicken bouillon, salt, ginger, and garlic. Pour over top.
  • Cook on low 6-7 hours.
  • Combine cornstarch and water. Gradually stir into slow cooker.
  • Cook 30 minutes longer or until sauce is thickened.
