How to Make Simple Sweet Sour Chicken
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces. Cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water until smooth.
- Add the cooked chicken to your slow cooker. Add 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, but halved for smaller pieces), 1/2 cup bell pepper (any color, diced), 1/2 cup onion (diced), 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon ketchup, 1 teaspoon ginger (grated), and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Pour the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve hot over cooked rice or udon noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
