Cooking Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients until well combined. Set aside.
  • Place the chicken pieces into a large ziploc bag with the cornstarch; seal and shake until the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan and drain on paper towels.
  • Add the diced bell peppers and pineapple chunks (with juice) into the bottom of a 5 quart (or larger) oval slow cooker.
  • Place chicken into the slow cooker. Pour the mixed sauce over the top of the chicken and vegetables; stir gently and cover.
  • Cook on low for about 3-4 hours (or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165F degrees).
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds once the sweet and sour chicken has finished cooking.
  • Serve over cooked rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
