Sweet & Sour Chicken

A slower cooker recipe.
This is a hit with the kids at our house. I serve it over rice and add a veggie to the meal and we are good to go.

 Ingredients:
Approx. 4 chicken breasts
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup white flour
1 cup water
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp ketchup
2 Tbls onion flakes
1 Tbsp prepared mustard

Instructions:
Cut up chicken breasts in to 3-4 pieces and place in slow cooker.  Mix brown sugar and flour in a saucepan. Add the water, vinegar, soy sauce and all the rest of the ingredients. Heat and stir until boiling and thickened. Pour over chicken and and cover with lid. Cook for 8-9 hours on low or 4-4 1/2 on high.

Other ideas: Mix ahead of time and freeze in single portions for use at a later date. Or add shredded veggies like 1/2 cup of carrots or zucchini.
