Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe

(3 1/2 quart crock)
2-4 skinless chicken breasts
1 large onion roughly chopped
2 bell peppers roughly chopped (one green, one red)
2/3-1 cup of broccoli florettes
1/2 cup of carrot chunks
1 large can of chunk pineapple (drain and SAVE the juice)
1/4-1/2 cup of brown sugar(can use reg. sugar)
1/4-1/2 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 slow cooker or crockpot.
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
