Very tasty! I also fresh pineapple chunks towards the end of the recipe. My only challenge was finding a store that sold pineapple preserves.
Carina says
How spicy is this recipe?
Heidi says
Hi Carina ~ it’s definitely on the spicier side. If you’re looking for something a little less spicy, there are several more Asian Crockpot Recipes listed here: https://thefrugalgirls.com/easy-asian-recipes

this was amazing!!!!! I can’t get over how easy it was! I added some chopped onion to ours and peanuts! Everyone had seconds and my husband was thrilled there was some left overs for lunch tomorrow! Thanks for posting!
Heidi says
You’re very welcome, Jessica… I’m so glad everyone loved it! The chopped onions and peanuts sound like delicious additions, too… YUM! 🙂
Angelli Mtz says
How Do I cook the chicken? I only put it in there or do I need some herbs????
Heidi says
Hi Angelli ~ you’ll just cook the chicken by itself for the first 3 hours… nothing else is required, as it will end up cooking in its own juices. Hope that helps! 🙂
Nicole says
This was delicious!!! Easily a replacement for ordering Chinese. And much much cheaper than Chinese To Go for 6!!!
I added onions and celery since I had both and always looking for ways to add extra veggies. Someone mentioned adding peanuts. I thought that sounded good but then neglected to get them while at the store.
I cooked the chicken the night before, cut it up into pieces, placed into Gladware along with the rest of the ingredients overnight. Threw into the crockpot together the next day while preparing the rice. (I prefer to cook multiple items while in the kitchen). The veggies still had some crunch which I prefer. My son said the exact opposite. If it were cooked longer or if the veggies were cooked before hand, it would make them softer.
It is a lovely meal and one I will use frequently! I can’t wait to try more from you girls!!
Thank you for sharing them!!
Blessings!!

This was very delicious! I couldn’t find pineapple preserves so I used orange marmalade and found it to be a great substitute.
Melanie says
I couldn’t find pineapple preserves anywhere. Anything else I can use?

4 out of 5 Spoons – i added almost a 1/2C of pineapple preserves – it really did help cut the ‘bitterness’ of the bottled sauce – might add some celery, next time – and don’t forget the peanuts for the top ! 😀 will make again !
