Slow Cooker-Sweet and Spicy Chicken

I was attracted to this recipe becasue there are only 5 main ingredients, the last two are use as needed...I used them:-)

Prep Time: 15 minutes


Cook Time: 9 hours

Ingredients:

2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion, chopped

1 cup purchased sweet and sour sauce

3/4 cup purchased barbecue sauce

1-2 Tbsp. cornstarch, if needed

2 Tbsp. water, if needed

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in 4-5 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours until chicken is thoroughly cooked. If you'd like a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and add to the liquid; cover and cook 10-15 minutes until thickened. Serve over hot cooked rice or couscous. 6 servings

I cooked this on high for 5 hours and it was perfect. My Hubby loved the sweetness of the chicken.
I also added 1 bell pepper cut into chunks.
I served it over uncle ben's already cooked basmati rice(see pic) below. I was not sure how the rice would come out seeing as it's already cooked and all you do is pop it in the microwave for 90 seconds. To my Hubby and My surprise it was good!
I'll be picking up more this weekend.

Yes, I'll make this again!

Cheers
