In our fast-paced lives, it’s essential to find ways to simplify our cooking routines without compromising on taste. That’s where the slow cooker comes to the rescue. Its gentle and consistent heat infuses flavors into the ingredients, creating tender, melt-in-your-mouth chicken.

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.
What can u replace the red wine vinegar with?
It is rice wine vinegar. Not red wine vinegar.
Really!! Correction was necessary? Why couldn’t you just answer her question?
I found this substitute, 1/4c white vinegar, 1/4tsps sugar, 2tsp filtered water.
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.
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.
