Crockpot Sweet And Sour Chicken

If I’m being totally honest with you, there is never not a time I would say yes to take out. Given the number of meals I have cooked for my family and this blog, even as someone who finds so much joy in cooking . . . take out always feels like a treat. That being said, I know that the healthier option is making it at home. And with an easy recipe like this Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Chicken, it doesn’t have to be complicated. This is my take on Sweet and Sour Chicken, there is nothing authentic about it. In place of breading, we have boneless skinless chicken breasts that remain unfried. I think they are so much better this way. They stay moist in the crockpot, and the sauce they are served in is thinner and less like syrup, making this a healthy sweet and sour chicken. We are using pineapple juice as the base for our sauce, but adding in lots of other ingredients to bring out a great flavor. Spoon this sauce over your chicken and rice and enjoy every last bite. This is such a kid friendly dinner.
