Ingredients

432g tin Asda Pineapple Chunks in Fruit Juice

25g fresh Root Ginger, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks

2 garlic Cloves, very thinly sliced

2 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce

3 tbsp Tomato Ketchup

3 tbsp Light Brown Sugar

2 tbsp Cider Vinegar

Pinch Dried Crushed Chillies

1 medium Onion, cut into thin wedges

3 Peppers, any colour, cut into roughly 3cm chunks

650g pack Asda Succulent Boneless Chicken Thigh Fillets, trimmed

3 tbsp Cornflour

Cooked Rice or Noodles (optional)

Method

Mix the pineapple and its juice together with the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, ketchup, sugar, vinegar and chilli in a slow cooker. Stir in the onion, peppers and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper.

Cut each chicken thigh into 4 similar sized pieces. Add to the slow cooker and mix lightly. Cover and cook on high for 3–4 hrs, or until the chicken and vegetables are tender.

When ready to serve, mix the cornflour with 3 tbsp cold water to make a thin paste and stir this gently into the chicken and vegetables, taking care not to break up the chicken too much. Cover and cook for a further 10 mins or until the sauce is thickened and glossy. Serve with freshly cooked rice or noodles, if you like.

Serving suggestions: Perfect served with freshly cooked noodles or rice. For extra convenience, serve with Asda Long Grain Micro Rice.
