Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup cornstarch

  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tbsp minced garlic

  • 1/3 cup ketchup

  • 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast, cubed

  • 1 red bell pepper, cubed

  • 1 green bell pepper, cubed

  • 1 yellow onion, cubed

  • 1-2 cups Cooked white rice (for serving at the end)

  • 10 oz canned pineapple chunks (reserve 1/2 cup of the juice)

Directions

  • Make the sauce first. To a small bowl add in the corn starch and apple cider vinegar whisk to combine the ingredients. Now add in the minced garlic, ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, and the 1/2 cup of the pineapple juice. Whisk well and add this sauce into your slow cooker with the chicken, bell peppers, and onion stir well. Cook on LOW for 4-5 hours OR HIGH for 3 hours or until the chicken is cooked through. We like to serve this sweet and sour chicken over cooked rice (with lots of the sauce over the top)

      I watched the video because I had the same question. It was when she put in the chicken, bell peppers, and onions. When to add: Whisk well and add this sauce into your slow cooker with the chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, and onion stir well.

    I just put this in the slow cooker and we can’t wait to eat it for dinner!
    I just wanted to mention that it doesn’t say when to put the pineapple in. I assume it’s in the crockpot and not just for topping ??
    Thanks for your videos. My 5 year old daughter is a huge fan, too hahaha

    This was very good. Mine needed 1 tbsp corn starch and 1 tbsp water slurry at the end to thicken sauce but definitely will make again.

    Hi Julia,

    Just wondering if the sauce ever catches on your slow cooker?

    Thanks,
