Ingredients
- 8 boneless chicken thighs*
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 red pepper deseeded and sliced
- 1 green pepper deseeded and sliced
- 2 carrots chopped
Sweet and Sour Sauce
- 1 can 250ml pineapple pieces
- 3 tbsp tomato ketchup
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 150 ml apple cider vinegar
- 100 g brown sugar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the sweet and sour sauce by mixing all the ingredients together. If you prefer a less tangy taste to your sweet and sour, reduce the amount of cider vinegar to 100ml.
- Add the chicken pieces to the slow cooker and add the garlic, onions and carrots. You can optionally add the peppers now or add them 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, depending on how well done you want them to be.
- Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the top and place the lid on.
- Set off on low for 5 to 6 hours, or high for 4 hours.
Notes
*substitute the chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer, just cook them for less time (3 to 4 hours on low should be enough).
