Provided by fabeveryday

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Chicken     Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipes

Time 4h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons cornstarch, divided
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cubed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice
½ cup chicken stock
¼ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 green onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Mix 2 tablespoons cornstarch, garlic powder, and ground ginger together in a small bowl. Toss chicken thighs in cornstarch mixture until they are evenly coated.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in the skillet until browned on all sides, 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Tips:

  • Select the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a lean and tender dish. If you prefer dark meat, chicken thighs are a great choice.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes helps to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your curry the best flavor and texture. Choose a variety of vegetables that you enjoy, such as bell peppers, carrots, onions, and pineapple.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure there is enough room in the slow cooker for the chicken and vegetables to cook evenly. If the slow cooker is too crowded, the food will not cook properly.
  • Cook on low heat: Cooking the curry on low heat for 6-8 hours allows the flavors to develop and the chicken to become fall-apart tender.
  • Serve with rice or noodles: Sweet and sour curry chicken is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it over a bed of steamed vegetables.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour curry chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet, sour, and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make a restaurant-quality sweet and sour curry chicken in your own slow cooker. .
