      Servings 6 servings
      Ingredients

      2 pounds chicken breasts boneless skinless, About 4 pieces, cut into 1 inch pieces
      3 Tablespoons Cornstarch
      1/2 teaspoon black pepper
      1 Tablespoon canola oil
      1/2 cup soy sauce low sodium
      4 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar
      4 Tablespoons ketchup
      2 Tablespoons sweet chili sauce
      2 Tablespoons brown sugar
      2 garlic cloves minced
      1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
      1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
      1 cup cashews

      Instructions

      Combine cornstarch and pepper in resealable food storage bag. Add chicken. Shake to coat with cornstarch mixture.
      Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken about 2 minutes on each side. Place chicken in slow cooker.
      Combine soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, sweet chili sauce sugar, garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, and cashews in small bowl; pour over chicken. (I like my cashews to be softer so I add them during the cooking process, if you want more of a crunch, add them right before serving)
      Cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours.
      Serve over rice. Makes 4-6 servings.

  2. If recipes don’t specify whether the meat is already precooked, I never am 100% positive and hunt for a recipe where it’s specified.

    1. If you took the time to read the recipe you would know that says to brown chicken for about 2 minutes on each side and place in the slow cooker. The chicken will continue to cook in the slow cooker.
