Ingredients

  • 4 -5 chicken breasts cubed
  • 1 cup apple juice ~ grape or orange for Low FOMAP
  • 1 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 Tbsp crushed red pepper
  • 2 1/2 tsp minced garlic ~ substitute with Low FODMAP garlic replacement
  • 1 1/3 cups soy sauce gluten-free if needed Bragg’s Aminos for soy-free
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1/2 cup ketchup ~ Low FODMAP or Portland Ketchup
  • 1/4 rounded cup of cornstarch ~ substitute with arrowroot or tapioca for corn-free

Instructions

  • In a large skillet cook chicken for about 7-10 minutes. I cover it for the first few minutes to speed up cooking time. No oil needed.
  • Mix all other ingredients in crock-pot.
  • Add cooked chicken and stir well.
  • Cover and cook on high for 2 hours.
  • Reduce to low for 4-5 hours, or until ready to serve. Or cook on low for 7-8 hours.
  • Serve over your choice of rice. Vegetable Fried Rice really makes it a complete dish though.
