This is good. I dumped everything but the cornstarch & the juice into a crockpot and cooked it overnight. In the morning I made a slurry with the cornstarch and juice and stirred that in.
Jaime says
When this simmers for last 45 minutes, is this on high still?
Heidi says
Yes… it will still be on High. Hope that helps! 😉

If I wanted to add some bell peppers and sliced carrots, would the 45 min simmer on high be enough time for them to soften a bit? Also, I only have a 20 oz can of pineapple. How much juice should I actually use from this can? I plan on chopping up the pineapple a bit to add to the recipe. Thanks.

Keri says
what do you add to the chicken to cook it in the beginning?
Heidi says
Hi Keri ~ you won’t need to add anything at all… the juices from the chicken will come out once it starts cooking. 😉
