CROCK-POT SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN (4 INGREDIENTS)

Steps:

• Spray your Crock-Pot with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place the cubed chicken in the bottom of the Crock-Pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour in the orange marmalade, sweet chili sauce, and crushed pineapple. Toss to combine.
• Cook on low for 4-5 hours or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F, stirring occasionally.
• OPTIONAL: Once the chicken is cooked, use a soup ladle to remove 2 cups of the sauce. Place in a small sauce pan and cook over medium high heat until boiling. Reduce to a simmer and let cook until it reduces by half and has a syrupy consistency. Return caramelized sauce to slow cooker and stir to coat chicken. (SEE NOTE)
• Serve over white rice if desired. Enjoy!

SLOW COOKER SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Mix 2 tablespoons cornstarch, garlic powder, and ground ginger together in a small bowl. Toss chicken thighs in cornstarch mixture until they are evenly coated.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in the skillet until browned on all sides, 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Drain juice from the can of pineapple chunks into a measuring cup. You should have approximately 3/4 cup to 1 cup of juice.
• Mix 1/2 cup pineapple juice, chicken stock, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce together in a slow cooker. Add browned chicken pieces and stir to coat chicken with the sauce. Cook on Low for 3 1/2 hours.
• Whisk remaining 2 tablespoons cornstarch with remaining 1/4 cup pineapple juice. Stir cornstarch mixture into the slow cooker. Increase the slow cooker heat to High and add pineapple chunks and chopped red bell pepper.
• Cook on High until the sauce is bubbly and thickened and bell pepper is crisp-tender, about 30 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onion.

CARA'S SWEET AND SOUR CROCK POT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Trim the chicken of fat and gristle, then cut the breasts or thighs into thirds.
• Sprinkle both sides of the chicken pieces with garlic salt; place into container and let stand in the fridge for an hour.
• Preheat your crock pot on low.
• Take the chicken from the fridge; put cornstarch and beaten eggs in separate shallow pans or dishes.
• Dredge the chicken pieces in the corn starch, then the egg.
• In a large skillet over medium temperature, heat the oil; slowly cook the dredged chicken pieces, frying to a golden brown on both sides, about 6 to 7 minutes per side.
• Remove the chicken from the skillet and place in the crock pot.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar (or sugar substitute*), vinegar, chicken stock, salt, catsup, and soy sauce; simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved and ingredients have incorporated well.
• Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken in the crock pot.
• Cook on low for 4 hours, then serve with rice and enjoy!
• *Note:if you use granular Splenda or Splenda Sugar Blend, you might want to use a bit less than 1/4 cup, then prepare the sauce to taste to make sure that it comes to the sweetness you prefer.
• Julie notes: I'd make some slight additions to the sauce, such as about a 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic and some chopped scallions; also, if you use chicken broth instead of stock, use unsalted broth then season with salt and/or soy sauce to taste.
