Slow Cooker Sweet Fire Chicken

This is an awesome recipe! My husband loves eating Sweet Fire Chicken when we go eat Chinese food so I decided to try making it at home as a surprise. He loved it, of course! Like most Slow Cooker recipes it's about putting it all together in the pot and letting the flavors meld together over time. The combination of spices, peppers, and pineapples together with the chicken is super tasty. My family loved it and I'm sure yours will too!

Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut them into cubes)

1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks

1 can of pineapple chunks, drained

For the sauce:

2 teaspoons of minced garlic

1 1/2 teaspoons of crushed red pepper flakes (if you want it hotter add another 1/2 teaspoon)

2/3 cup of sugar

1 cup of water

2 tablespoons of sweet red chili sauce

1/2 teaspoon of salt

4 tablespoons of cold water plus 3 tablespoons of cornstarch

Procedure:

1. Cut the chicken and bell pepper. 
2. In a bowl mix together the ingredients for the sauce, except the 4 tablespoons of cold water and the 3 tablespoons of cornstarch.
3. Add the chicken, bell pepper, and pineapple into a greased slow cooker.
4. Pour the sauce into the slow cooker and give it a stir. 
5. Cover and cook for 2-3 hours on high or 4-5 hours on low.

After cutting the chicken and peppers prepare the sauce. First put the minced garlic in a bowl.

Then the pepper flakes.

Followed by the sugar.

The cup of water.

And the sweet chili sauce.

Lastly add the salt.

Mix thoroughly.

Put the chicken in the greased slow cooker.

Followed by the peppers.

And the pineapples.

Stir to combine.

Cover and cook for 2-3 hours on high or 4-5 hours on low.

Put the cornstarch in a separate bowl.

Then add the cold water and stir to combine.

Remove the lid.

Pour the cornstarch mixture into the slow cooker, 30 minutes before serving.

Mix well.

Cover and cook for the 30 minutes.

It will come out super moist, soft, and tasty. Enjoy!
