List of Ingredients




1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks in juice
1 cup baby cut carrots, cut in half
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon finely chopped gingerroot
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2 inch pieces
3/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/4cup cornstarch
1/4 cup water
Hot cooked rice or chow mein noodles, if desired.

Recipe



Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Place pineapple chunks in a small bowl; cover and refrigerate.

Place carrots, onion, garlic and gingerroot in 4 1/2 to 6 quart slow cooker. Top with chicken. Mix soy sauce, brown sugar and reserved pineapple juice; pour over chicken.
Cover and cook on low heat setting 7 to 9 hours, or until juice of chicken is ;no longer pink.

During last 30 minutes, add pineapple and bell peppers. Increase to high heat setting. Mix cornstarch and water; stir into chicken mixture during last 10 minutes of cooking. Serve with rice.

Tips: If you don’t have fresh gingerroot on hand, use 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger instead.If you are taking this to a potluck or gathering, serve with chow mein noodles. They add a nice crunch and there’s no need to worry about keeping them hot-simply serve from the bag.
