Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 ½ lb), cut into 1″ – 1 1/2″pieces
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup white vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ – 1 tsp Sriracha hot sauce (optional)
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • ¾ cup diced fresh pineapple (you could also use canned but fresh is best)
  • ¼ of an onion, diced into 1″ pieces
  • ½ of a green bell pepper, diced into 1″ pieces (I’ve also used red)

Directions

Place diced chicken in a slow cooker. In a mixing bowl combine, ½ cup chicken broth, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, soy sauce, tomato paste, garlic powder, ginger, pepper and optional hot sauce. Whisk until well blended. Pour mixture over chicken in slow cooker, press chicken into sauce to cover. Cover slow cooker with lid and cook chicken on low heat for 5 – 7 hours.

In a small mixing bowl, stir together 1/3 cup chicken broth and 1/3 cup cornstarch. Whisk until well blended then gently fold cornstarch mixture into chicken mixture (chicken will be very tender that’s why I say “fold”). Fold in diced pineapple, onion and bell pepper. Cover slow cooker with lid and cook mixture on low for an additional 20 – 30 minutes until sauce thickens and fruit/veggies are slightly tender. Serve warm with white or brown rice.
