• 1 large orange bell pepper, thin sliced
• 2 cups button mushrooms, thin sliced
• 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup sherry wine
• 1/3 soy sauce (you can also serve some on the side as a garnish if you want more flavor)
• 3 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• salt (go easy, soy is salty)
• pepper
• chow mein noodles

Recipe

• 1 crockpot -- this is so easy. in a large baggie, add the corn starch and all the chicken and toss well until all the chicken is completely coated.
• 2 shake the excess cornstarch off and add the chicken to the crock pot. then add in the onions, peppers, and mushrooms on top.
• 3 in a medium bowl, add the tomatoes, broth, sherry, soy, garlic, ginger, worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, pinch of salt (go easy) and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. mix well and pour over the chicken, pepper and onions.
• 4 turn on low for about 4-5 hours. boneless chicken breasts and thighs don't take too long. now i wish i could give you an exact time. my crockpot took 4 hours my small one took 5. i did stir once during cooking but it is not necessary.
• 5 note -- if you like yours a bit thinner, add a little extra chicken stock if you want. before serving, check for any additional seasoning - salt and pepper if necessary.
• 6 rice -- cook according to package directions. approximately 1-1/2 cups cooked rice per person.
• 7 serve -- i serve a nice helping of rice per person and top with the chicken pepper steak and then some of the chow mein noodles for a little crunch.
• 8 just a nice easy dish. enjoy!
