Sweet & Sour Chicken

Sweet & Sour Chicken. You just chop a few things, put them in the slow cooker, and let it do all the work. It comes out soft, saucy, and full of yummy flavor. A perfect easy dinner for busy days when you still want something tasty!

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 750g–1kg chicken breast, cut into small bite-sized pieces
• 1 head of broccoli, cut into small florets
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into small pieces
• 1 small brown onion, cut into quarters
• 1 jar Sweet & Sour sauce (like Kan Tong brand)
• 1 jar Chinese Barbecue sauce (like Kan Tong brand)

Cheats Sweet & Sour Chicken: Instructions

1. Cut the chicken breast into small, even pieces so it cooks evenly.
2. Chop the broccoli into small florets, cut the capsicum into bite-size chunks, and quarter the onion.
3. Put the chicken, broccoli, capsicum, and onion into the slow cooker.
4. Pour in the whole jar of Sweet & Sour sauce and the whole jar of Chinese Barbecue sauce.
5. Stir everything together gently so all the pieces are coated in sauce.
6. Put the lid on the slow cooker and set it to Low for 4 hours.
7. Use the tea towel trick: place a folded tea towel under the lid to catch extra water drops and stop the food from getting too watery.
8. After 4 hours, check that the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
9. Give it one more gentle stir before serving.
10. Serve hot with a scoop of rice on the side.

Notes

• You can use two jars of Sweet & Sour sauce instead of one Sweet & Sour and one Chinese Barbecue sauce.
• If you like your veggies a bit crunchy instead of soft, add the broccoli and capsicum after the chicken has cooked for 2 hours, instead of adding them at the start.
