Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be substituted. Cut chicken into 1" chunks.)

- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.33 cup ketchup

Instructions
- Cut chicken into 1" chunks and add to a 1 gallon freezer bag. Add cornstarch and close bag. Shake until completely coated.
- Add chicken, green pepper, red pepper, and onion to the slow cooker.
- In a medium bowl add juice from pineapple chunks, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and garlic. Stir together and pour over chicken and vegetables.
- Cover and cook on high for 1½ hours (or low for 3½ to 4½ hours). Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165° F. 30 minutes before the cooking time is complete, add in the pineapple chunks and recover, and finish cooking.
