Special Extra

Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped fresh coriander (cilantro).

Slow Cooker Know-How

Don't lift the lid, unless you want to extend the cooking time by 20 min. To check the progress, spin or tap the lid until the condensation falls off. If a recipe gives you reason to lift the lid, replace it quickly.

Slow Cooker Know-How

When purchasing a slow cooker, look for one with a removable liner. It is easier to clean and can even double as a serving bowl! Your slow cooker can also be used as a server for hot beverages, dips and side dishes, freeing up oven space when you are entertaining a crowd.

My Chinese student said it tasted like home. I'll thicken the sauce next time.

My family loved this recipe. I used chicken breast and doubled up all the vegetables. The chicken was so tender and melted in your mouth. It made great lunches for the next few days! I will definitely make this again!

My husband and I really liked this recipe. I added a few snap peas in when I added the pineapple which added an extra something. Was surprised how much we liked it because Calatina dressing is not something we usually will use. Very good recipe, easy, and will make it again! It was even better the next day when I had it for leftovers! I have already shared the recipe with friends too!

O..M..G.. This was SO good. I double the sauce and added fresh stir fry veggies about 30 minutes before the end. Kids loved it and it made good leftover lunches the next day!

Nice slow cooker recipe that doesn't turn everything to mush. Tastey. I omitted the green peppers and also added some water chestnuts. as per a suggestion I read. I think I would use 1/2 the sugar next time but it did taste good as is. I also added a bit more carrot and celery.

I added 2 Tbsp lemon juice, sesame seeds, sliced almonds and mushrooms to jazz it up served over long grain brown rice. Also placed cubed boneless skinless chicken breast on bottom of crock pot with veg on top to keep colours bright. Absolutely delicious! I will definitely be making this again, it's a keeper.
