Crock Pot-Sweet & Sour Chicken

So I won over my husband with the crock pot sweet and sour tofu, so it was time to make something he would like even more...sweet and sour chicken. This is a healthy, flavor packed dish prepared in the slow cooker. Serve over rice or a noodle dish. I made this dish with a tofu noodle dish.

Tip: Purchase chicken breasts that are already sliced like tenders. This made it easier to prepare without having to cut and trim full size chicken breasts.
