Slow-Cooker Sweet-and-Sour Chicken image

I use my slow-cooker to fix this stir-fry like supper. Adding the onions, pineapple and snow peas later in the process keeps them from becoming over-cooked. -Dorothy Hess, Hartwell, Georgia

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the sauce next time.
