This isn't your Chinese take-out sweet & sour chicken, but it's just as good and MUCH healthier. This recipe only makes enough for 2, so you may want to double, or even triple it. B liked it so much he was licking the plate (I wish I was joking).
Ingredients:
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 large chicken breasts
1/2 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup tomatoes, diced
1/2 tbsp paprika
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 red pepper, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup pineapple
2 tbsp cornstarch
Preparation:
Heat oil in skillet. Add garlic and onion and saute until soft.
Add paprika, tomatoes, black pepper, carrots and red pepper. Heat for 5 min, stirring occasionally.
Add orange juice, soy sauce and honey. Stir until comes to a boil.
Add chicken to slow cooker, pour tomato mixture on top. Add pineapple.
Cook for about 4 hours, until chicken is easy to pull apart.
Move chicken and veggies to the side.
Whisk cornstarch in 1/4 cup cold water, add to slow cooker. Add green pepper and cook until tender, about another 15 minutes.
