Flavorful Crock Pot Chicken
"This is a delicious crock pot recipe that I found on this site, but adapted it to my own tastes. It smells great while it is cooking! After cooking it for 3 hours, I took out the chicken and placed it in a serving dish, then took the sauce and added cornstarch to make it thicker. The sauce was then used to pour over the chicken or the rice. Some other ideas I have, which I would like to try sometime, would be to cut up the chicken into strips and then add stir-fry veggies to the chicken and sauce. This would be like a stir-fry! (one that would take a while though) Who knows, maybe we will try it sometime!"

Great taste. We liked this one. Remember to stir occasionally. I found my chicken sticking together. Second time I made this I tried the stir-fry approach. Cooked the chicken about 2 hours then added some frozen snow peas, onions & mushrooms. Served over rice with egg rolls on the side. My husband loves this and there's always enough for lunch the next day. -
Too sweet for our taste. -
This was very good. I suggest changing the recipe name though. It's really a sweet -and-sour type of sauce. I had to substitute lemon and lime juice for the Sprite, and Worchestshire sauce for the soy sauce. These worked well. I think it was a bit over done after 3 hours in the crockpot on high. Next time I'll try 2.5 hours. Thanks for posting. DH loved it. -
This was very easy and good. My son cleaned his plate. I was in a hurry and looking for a recipe that I had all of the ingredients for. This was it. I cut the chicken breasts while frozen and put them in the crockpot frozen. I added the other ingredients except for the soy sauce (just added a tsp of salt). I also added 3 cups of frozen stir-fry vegetables. After 3 hours on high, I served the chicken & vegetables over corkscrew noodles (b/c I was out of rice, lol) anyway... very good flavor. Thank you Bec -
I'm sorry, but we weren't wild about this one. I am giving it 3 stars because it certainly is easy and relatively quick (for a crock pot recipe). However we found it too spicy and too sweet at the same time. I used only about 2/3 cup of brown sugar, but it was still too sweet. DD kept whining about the vinegar and DH about the sugar! It wasn't bad, just not to our tastes.
