Directions
-
Begin by preparing the chicken. In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with corn starch until they are well coated. This step creates a tremendous veil that will help achieve a crunchy texture once cooked.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are frothy. This is where the magic happens, as the egg coating will help the corn starch cling to the chicken.
-
Once the chicken is coated, dip the pieces in the beaten eggs. Ensure each piece is evenly coated before moving on.
-
Place the coated chicken pieces into the slow cooker. Be sure to spread them out, allowing for even cooking.
-
Next, sprinkle the diced bell peppers and pineapple chunks over the chicken. The vibrant colors will brighten up the dish, creating a visual feast.
-
Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the chicken and vegetables. This sauce is the heart of the recipe, bringing together the sweetness of the pineapple and the zing of the bell peppers.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste. This is your chance to adjust the flavor to your liking.
-
Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The longer cooking time on low will yield more tender chicken, while high cooking will work if you’re short on time.
-
Once cooked, serve the slow cooker sweet and sour chicken over a bed of rice. This dish shines when paired with fluffy white or brown rice, soaking up the delightful sauce.
