Photo Description:
This simple, Asian style chicken stew recipe is brightly colored and very tempting. If you like Asian food, why not make this wonderful dish? The recipe has both Asian and Hawaiian influences and if the combination of savory and sweet appeals to you, you are sure to enjoy this. Serve it with white rice or egg noodles for the best results. If you prefer your bell pepper soft to al dente, add it a couple hours before the end of the cooking time, rather than half an hour before the end. The pineapple can also be added them, so you do not have to open the slow cooker twice during the cooking time and let the hot air out.
