This is a great tasting sweet & sour chicken and so easy and fast to prepare.  You can cook 4 chicken breasts in a slow cooker, then add 1 cup chicken broth (reduced sodium) and simmer all day, OR stir fry the chicken then add the chicken broth.  After the chicken is cooked with the broth …

Mix together:

• 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar (or any combinations of vinegars that you have on hand)
• 2 Tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 Tablespoons apricot preserves (reduced or no-sugar)
• 2 – 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons finely grated or minced ginger

Add to the chicken mixture bring to a boil, then reduce heat and add:

• vegetables (any combination of peppers, onion, mushrooms, broccoli, snow peas, water chestnuts, bok choy, carrots, scallions)

Simmer until vegetables are tender.  Great with the egg rolls and chicken fried rice recipes, also on shakeitup. Enjoy.
