Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 medium Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
• 1 can (20 oz) Pineapple chunks (with juice)
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 cup Sweet and sour sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Chop the bell peppers and onion into 1-inch pieces.

Step 3

In the crockpot, add the diced chicken, chopped bell peppers, onion, and the entire can of pineapple chunks along with the juice.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the crockpot.

Step 5

Stir gently to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the sauce coats the chicken and vegetables evenly.

Step 6

Cover with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours or on high heat for 2 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 7

About 30 minutes before the cooking time ends, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Add this to the crockpot and stir well. This will help thicken the sauce.

Step 8

Cook for the remaining 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

Step 9

Serve the sweet and sour chicken hot over cooked white or brown rice, if desired, and enjoy!
