Crockpot Sweet Chili Chicken

 

This is my favorite kid of crock pot meal. Dump everything into the crock pot, set it and forget it. Normally with chicken crock pot meals I add in the chicken frozen. However, I've noticed lately the frozen chicken I buy, when defrosting I end up with a lot of liquid. Extra liquid is not a good thing in a dish like this. So, I would recommend using thawed chicken. But, if your sauce it too thin you can mix together cornstarch and water and stir it in and let it cook for about 30 minutes.

I served this sweet and slightly spicy chicken over rice and loved how it tasted, but was not a fan of how it looked since the rice and chicken were a very similar color. Maybe I will add some green onions next time for a bit of color. I never used to think about how a meal looked until I started this blog and now I notice. Unfortunately, I usually do not notice until I am editing the pictures and there is nothing I can do to fix it. It also didn't help that this chicken was a different color than the pictures from the original recipe. Depending on the chili sauce you use this can happen.
