Sweet and tangy flavor. It came out perfect, not too soggy after cooking for so long. With the crock pot you don’t need a wok, and it comes out every bit as good as the local restaurant. There are also even more leftovers! As a family of 4 we had them for days.


Ingredients

3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds), chopped into bite size pieces
2 tablespoons Wesson oil
1 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon pepper

Sauce:

4 tablespoons hoisin sauce (can be found in the Asian section at most markets)
4 tablespoons La Choy soy sauce*
4 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon minced garlic (or garlic powder)
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

steamed or fried rice for serving

* La Choy Soy Sauce is not sweet and more salty than other soy sauces

Directions

Preheat oil in a nonstick pan or skillet over medium heat. Whisk together corn starch, salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and pepper.

Add the corn starch mixture and chicken to a large zip lock bag. Seal and shake it to coat chicken.

Add coated chicken pieces to pan. Saute 1-2 minutes until browned. (chicken will still be raw in the middle at this point, that’s okay)

In a bowl combine all sauce ingredients and whisk to combine. Add half to the crockpot along with chicken pieces. Cook on low for 4 hours.

Immediately before serving, Add remaining sauce to the crock pot and stir gently. Serve with rice.
