Crockpot Sweet And Sour Chicken Recipe

This crockpot sweet and sour chicken recipe by Catherine’s Plates on YouTube is an easy recipe if you want homemade Chinese takeout at home. I love sweet and sour chicken, but I’ve never made it in the crockpot. Also, it looks super easy and the chicken looks very tender with all of the flavors all cooked in one. Crockpot recipes are so convenient to make when you’re having a busy day and want dinner served by the time you’re done with errands.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 3 bell peppers, chopped (any color combination)
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 1 (20 oz) can pineapple chunks and juice
• 3-4 green onions, sliced
• sesame seeds to garnish

Sauce:

• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 tbsp white wine vinegar

Directions:

First, mix all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl and set them aside. Place the chicken pieces and cornstarch into a plastic bag, seal it and shake it around until the chicken is coated with cornstarch. In a large skillet, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in a single layer and cook until they are golden brown on each side. Continue to watch Catherine’s Plates tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.

Next, dump all of the ingredients into the crockpot to cook the sweet and sour chicken on low for 3-4 hours. Serve over a bed of white rice or fried rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Overall, this is a quick and easy sweet and sour chicken recipe that I need to make because I’ve made it over the stove and it can be a process.
