Crock Pot Sweet And Sour Chicken

Crock Pot Sweet and Sour Chicken is an easy dinner recipe. Tender chicken, bell peppers, and pineapple are slow cooked in an easy to make homemade sweet and sour sauce for an easy Chinese Take Out recipe at home. 

Other Chinese Take Out recipes we love to make at home include Sticky Sweet and Sour Ribs, Sweet and Sour Meatballs, and Orange Peel Chicken.

My recent obsession with Sweet and Sour Recipes is no secret it's been my thing lately.

I'm not sure if it has to do with fall or the fact my favorite Chinese spot is no longer around so it's either do it myself or go through Chinese food withdrawals the rest of my life. Personally I'm picking option 1 because 2 really isn't an option in my book.

Crock Pot Sweet and Sour Chicken is so easy to toss together and perfect for those nights you don't have much time to hang in the kitchen.

I loaded it with pineapple, bell peppers, carrots and sugar peas so all it really needs is some steamed or fried rice and bam dinners done. I don't think it can get much easier than this! 

In  your Crockpot add: 

• 1/4 cup Corn Starch
• 1/2 cup Ketchup

Whisk together well to prevent lumps because we all know no one likes lumpy sauce.

Then add: 

• 1/2 cup Natural Rice Vinegar
• 1/2 cup Sweet Chili Sauce
• 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame Seed Oil

Slowly whisk in 2 cups Chicken Stock.

Add:

• 3 whole Chicken Breast or Equivalent Amount Boneless Skinless Thighs, Diced into about 1 1/2" pieces
• 1 whole Diced Medium Sized Onion
• 3 cloves Minced Garlic
• 3 whole Chopped Carrots.

Cook on low for 3-4 hours.

For the last hour of cooking add

• 1 whole Chopped Pineapple Peeled, Cored and Chopped 
• 3 whole Chopped Bell Peppers 

I used 3 different colored bell peppers but feel free to use whatever color you like.

Cook an additional 45 minutes and check chicken doneness.

Add 8 ounces Sugar Peas or Snow Peas and recover.

Cook an additional 15 minutes or until peas are desired doneness.

Serve over the top of Cilantro Lime Rice,  Steamed Rice or with a side of Fried Rice. You can't go wrong with any of them. 

This was yummy in every way. The whole family loves Crock Pot Sweet and Sour Chicken and what's not to love it's easy to make and full of goodness.
