Over the weekend I made some really good sweet & sour chicken in my new slow cooker. The recipe was from my new slow cooker cookbook. It was incredibly simple and came out really well.

Prep: 15 mins
Cook: Low 5 hours OR High 2 1/2 hours
Makes: 4 Servings

1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
(2) 9-ounce jars sweet and sour sauce
(1) 16-ounce package frozen loose-pack broccoli, carrots, and water chestnuts (vegetables clearly can vary)
2 1/2 cups hot cooked rice (this made a LOT more than I needed)
1/4 cup chopped almonds, toasted (optional, I didn’t use them)

1. In a 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker (came out fine in my 6-quart) combine chicken, sweet and sour sauce, and frozen vegetables.

2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 5 to 5 1/2 hours or on high-heat setting for 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 hours. Serve with hot cooked rice. If desired, sprinkle with almonds.
