real food. real life.
Yes, it's clean, I swear. And so, so amazing. We made this for New Year's Eve in an attempt to makeover our Chinese Food Takeout favourites: Sweet n' sour chicken, spicy rice noodles, and spring rolls with a sweet plum-like sauce.
This was a new recipe and it turned out great! So easy, we made it again last night! Here it is, enjoy! Total time: 4-5 hours in slow cooker Ingredients: 1 onion, sliced 2 slices of fresh pineapple, chopped 2 thawed chicken breasts, chopped Sauce: 2 tbsp honey, 1/4 cup coconut aminos (or soy sauce if you can eat it!), 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 cloves garlic, 1 tsp ginger, 1 tsp cilantro, 1 tsp chilli pepper flakes, and a dash of chilli powder and paprika 1 sweet red pepper, chopped 1 tbsp water & corn starch (optional) What to do: 1) Add onion, pineapple and chicken to the slow cooker. 2) Whisk sauce ingredients in a separate bowl. Then, add to slow cooker. Stir together. 3) Cook on high for 4 hours or so. Stir a few times if you're around. 4) After chicken is cooked through and onions are super super soft, add peppers and water/corn starch mix. Stir together with the sauce and replace lid. The cornstarch/water mix should help the sauce thicken up. You can skip the cornstarch/water mix if you're not eating corn starch. Your sauce just won't be thick, still yummy, just not thick. I add the peppers at this stage because I don't like super soggy peppers. :) 5) After about another 20-30 minutes, your sauce should be thickened and ready to serve! Yummmmm over rice or noodles. |
We really cooked these things. From scratch. On weeknights. And we even had time to do the dishes.
