Directions

1 Mix all ingredients except pineapple, cornstarch and bell pepper in 3 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker.
2 Cover and cook on low heat setting 7 to 8 hours (or high heat setting 3 to 4 hours) or until vegetables are tender and chicken is no longer pink in center.
3 Mix reserved pineapple juice and cornstarch until smooth; gradually stir into chicken mixture. Stir in pineapple and bell pepper.
4 Cover and cook on high heat setting about 15 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Note: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer’s directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

(Total time will vary with appliance and setting.)

Cornstarch doesn't mix well into hot liquids, especially soups and stews. Stirring the cornstarch into the reserved pineapple juice before adding it to the stew helps prevent lumps.

To make this great stew extra-special, just sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted coconut or chopped peanuts or cashews.

This recipe should not be a slow cooker recipe. I made it last night and by the time I got home from work the chicken was in shreds. Taking into consideration some of the earlier reviews I went a little more heavy on the soy sauce, hot sauce and ginger and really liked the flavor. I would consider trying this recipe again in a wok or other stovetop pan, but never again in a crockpot.
