Need receipe for crock pot Sweet and Sour Chicken

[whitney]

I'm on the third go round, this last one was the worst!

No store bought sweet and sour sauces please. I'm trying to make it from SCRATCH.

I would be ETERNALLY GRATEFUL.

I found a recipe in a Betty Crocker Crock Pot cook book I have. It doesn't use bought sauce. [i have not tried this recipe myself, as my husband doesn't like sweet/sour.]

Sweet-and-Sour Chicken

prep: 20 min Cook: 9hour

1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks in juice

1 cup baby-cut carrots, cut in half

1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 teaspoon finely chopped gingerroot (if you don't have fresh gingerroot, use 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger)

2 pounds boneless, skinless ckicken thighs cut into 2 inch pieces

3/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 cup hot water

Hot cooked rice or chow mein noodles, if desired

1. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Place pineapple chunks in small bowl; cover and refridgerate

2. Place carrots, onion, garlic and gingerroot in 4.5 to 6 quart slow cooker. Top with chicken. Mix soy sauce, brown sugar

and reserved pineapple juice; pour over chicken

3. cover and cook on low setting 7 to 9 hours or until juice of chicken is no longer pink

4. during last 30 minutes, add pineapple and bell peppers. Increase to high heat. Mix Cornstarch and water; stir into

chicken mixture during last 10 minutes of cooking.

Serve with rice. 8 servings.

Now that I"ve read this recipe through, I might have to try it.

THANKS CHANDAB I'll let you know how it turns out. I have one receipe to try before yours but I don't hold out much hope it uses LEMONADE!
