Although for the most part it's consumable in present recipe, it certainly needs huge tweeking. I would NOT do the chicken in the crock, it comes out dry and stringy (and needs only 2 hours, not anymore). It needs a load more allspice and ginger (I used powder form) and without blanching the peppers you end up with a dish that plates as though it came from the frozen entree section...not very "homemade". I added garlic, for that third "layer" of flavor, and it needs to cut back on the broth. I served with jasmine rice. Omitting the pepper sauce can be done, as it does nothing for the final flavor. I'd stir fry the chix, remove, make a rue, replace chix in pot, add broth and wet ingredients, let simmer a few minutes and add pineapple and green peppers at the last 10 minutes. Let your nose tell you how much spices need to be added. Good luck.

I like to serve this as more of a soup, as a stand alone meal. I don't use the boneless skinless chicken, just boil regular chicken and tear off the meat. I also add a lot more sugar since I like it very sweet. It's a great meal.

This is so simple to fix and is delicious! It is very popular with every group I fixed it for. I shredded my chicken and used 1/2 as much which made it very economical.

I think that it would've turned out better if it was stir fried. At least my husband liked it.

I got this from my AllRecipes.com cookbook so I did not read the reviews before now. I thought it was kind of strange it would take so many hours for the cubed chicken to cook. I was correct, the chicken came out really dry and like another person said it became stringy. I liked the taste but if I were to make this again I would probably adapt it to more of a stir-fry and totally change things. I still wonder if I did something wrong in cooking the chicken since it turned out so dry but I have read over the recipe several times and I made it just like instructed.

I, like some of the other raters was anticipating that this would be a great recipe but I was quite disappointed. It had an odd flavour. I doubled the broth because that had been suggested several times but the taste of the sauce over powered everything else. I would not make this again.

I personally didn't like the taste of this, but the chicken turned out beautiful. Everything else cooked really well and it looked great but I guess I am not a big fan of ginger. I would also definately suggest using pineapple tidbits instead of chunks. There were quite a bit of carrots in this too.

I had high expectations for this because I love pepper/pineapple/soy sauce-type dishes, but I was disappointed. Flavor was okay but nothing exceptional. I had to add quite a bit more cornstarch to thicken the sauce. I also had to cook it longer to get the carrots done. This had too many carrots.

Not bad. I will probably make this again as my bf enjoyed it more than I did. Next time I will add more liquid and maybe some vinegar to give it more of a sweet and sour taste. I'll also increase the amount of ginger. I didn't make it in the slow cooker, just on the stovetop.

The first time I made this recipe I thought it smelled different... but I served it with brown rice and it was really good! The next time I made it I doubled the broth and served it over a couple of baked SWEET POTATOES (cut into bite size pieces). It too was a hit, and a different way to serve the dish.
