Crock Pot sweet and Sour Chicken

Since being on weight watchers for a few years I find most of the recipes I cook online.  There are so many blogs now d posting healthy, yummy food and that definitely contributed to my weight loss success.  However, my sister in law gave me a Healthy cook book for Christmas and it has opened my eyes to a whole new world of cookbooks.  I cant wait to get more healthy, light cook books.  I have made a few recipes from it this past week and this one so far is my favorite.  It is really easy.  I seriously threw everything in the crock pot and forgot about it and then cooked up some minute rice right before we ate.  Perfect for a busy day. 
Sorry I didn't get more pictures.  We were in a hurry that evening to get out of the house and I spaced it!

Crock Pot Sweet and Sour Chicken

1 Cup Chopped Onion
1/3 cup Sugar
1/3 cup kitchen
1/4 cup orange juice
3 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp cider vinegar.  (I used 2 tbsp white vinegar)
2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp fresh grated ginger (I used the spice)
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs cut into 1 inch pieces
1 20 oz can pineapple chunks.  Drain the juice
1 large green bell pepper, cut into 3/4 inch strips
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 3/4 inch strips
3 cups hot cooked white rice

Combine all the ingredients (except rice) in slow cooker.



 Stir.  Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 4 hours.  Serve over rice.
