    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.

    When this simmers for last 45 minutes, is this on high still?

      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.

    what do you add to the chicken to cook it in the beginning?

      Hi Keri ~ you won’t need to add anything at all… the juices from the chicken will come out once it starts cooking. 😉
