Ingredients

3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds), chopped into bite size pieces

2 tablespoons oil

1 cup corn starch

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon pepper


Sauce:

4 tablespoons hoisin sauce (can be found in the Asian section at most markets)

4 tablespoons soy sauce

4 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoons minced garlic

2 tablespoons water

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

steamed or fried rice for serving

Directions

Preheat the oil in a nonstick pan or skillet over medium heat.

Whisk together the corn starch, salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and pepper.

Add the corn starch mixture and chicken pieces to a large zip lock bag. Seal and shake to coat the chicken.

Add the coated chicken pieces to the pan. Saute 1-2 minutes until browned. (Chicken will still be raw in the middle at this point, but that's okay)

Combine all of the sauce ingredients and whisk. Add half to the crockpot, along with chicken pieces. Cook on low for 4 hours.

Immediately before serving, add the remaining sauce to the crockpot and stir gently. Serve with rice.
