crockpot - Sweet + Sour Chicken #2
2-4 bonesless, skinless chicken breasts
1 large onion roughly chopped
2 bell peppers roughly chopped (one green, one red)
2/3 to 1 cup of broccoli florettes
1/2 cup of carrot chunks
1 large can of chunk pineapple (drain and SAVE the juice)
1/4 to 1/2 cup of brown sugar(can use reg. sugar)
1/4 to 1/2 cup of vinegar(I use white)
Water/wine/white grape juice/orange juice etc. as needed for extra liquid
1 tablespoon of cornstarch for every cup of liquid
...you end up with
hot sauce to taste (optional)
salt and pepper to taste (optional)
cinnamon(optional)
allspice (optional)
cloves (optional)
curry powder (optional)
Put chicken breasts in a 3 1/2 quart crockpot/slow cooker. Add the onion, peppers,
broccoli, and carrots Whisk together until blended well, no lumps in sugar,
liquids, spices, and cornstarch, and sugar. Pour over chicken. If there is
not enough juice, add whichever liquid you prefer to bring up to the desired
level. (REMEMBER THOUGH: For each extra cup of liquid, stir in another
Tablespoon of cornstarch before you pour it in the slow cooker/Crock Pot) .
Cook 8-10 hours on Med or 10-12 on low. I sometimes vary the recipe...using
fruit cocktail and a bit less sugar, Pineapple, or apricot preserves or
orange marmalade. works too. (no cornstarch needed when you used
preserves...nor sugar of course. Use your imagination. Remember sweet and
sour is basically a fruit juice and vinegar.
