This may be our easiest slow cooker recipe yet. There's no browning in the skillet, no last-minute stovetop sauce—all the magic happens right in the slow cooker. Craving crunch? Serve it as a wrap in the cabbage of your choice.

Directions

Step 1
Add chicken, bell pepper, chicken stock, onion, carrots, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sambal oelek, and 1/2 cup ketchup to a 6-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until chicken shreds easily with a fork, about 7 hours. Remove chicken from slow cooker. Shred chicken, and cover to keep warm.

Step 2
Whisk together pineapple juice and cornstarch in a small bowl. Increase slow cooker heat to high; slowly stir in pineapple juice mixture and remaining 1/4 cup ketchup. Cook, uncovered, until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 30 minutes. Stir in chicken. Serve over rice, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions.

Delicious over all.
One sub: white rice instead of brown
One omit: chilli paste (sambal oelek) couldn't find it at even speciality stores. Just wanted to try and get a taste and check how pungent it is. We don't like to suffer while eating,

This dish turned out wonderfully with my family! One problem with this recipe had been the sauce, which didn't thicken within a half an hour. Other than that, it turned out to be delicious!
