Hi Judi! Unfortunately, I’ve only tried this dish in the slow cooker, so I’m afraid I don’t have any specific advice to offer. I suggest checking out my full list of Instant Pot recipes for inspiration.
I LOVE the flavor of this recipe, so delicious!
Question – the chicken almost tastes like it was rolled in the cornstarch (which I didn’t do) Did I do something wrong to make it have this consistency? Do you have any tips?
Hi Cameron, did you whisk the cornstarch well before adding it to the slow cooker? I’m not sure what else might’ve caused the cornstarch flavor. I’m so happy you still enjoyed the flavor of this dish!
This was super easy and very healthy. I finished off the leftovers today for lunch. Delicious! I did not change anything in the recipe and it turned out perfect.
Hi Angela! If you look at the top of the post, you can click the “jump to recipe” button. It will take you right to the recipe. I do invest hours and hours of time into making my posts helpful resources that include important information about the recipe. If you do not feel you need this information, I suggest either using the jump to recipe button I mentioned or seeking out a different, non-blog recipe resource, like All Recipes.
Hi Melisa! Since the “sour” flavor in this dish comes from the white vinegar and rice vinegar has a completely different flavor profile, I’m afraid swapping it would impact the outcome.
Since this is my 1st comment ever here, let me say that your idea for cooking chicken breasts in the crock pot has been a total game changer in the kitchen for me.
I have completely reworked my repertoire of your recipes to add dishes like this one.
What could I substitute for the chili paste? (any one feel free to offer ideas. I know Erin in busy)
Campers have bigger kitchens than I have at home and it’s just not possible for me to have such a diversity of spices and such.
Hi Brandon! Which ingredients are you referring to? Also did you see the entire recipe in the recipe card? There is a “jump to recipe” button to help you get there quicker. Hope this helps!
Thank you for the recipe!
After draining 1/4 pineapple juice for mixing with the cornstarch, does the recipe call for draining the remaining juice from the canned pineapple ~ and reserving the remainder of the juice for another time . . . adding only completely drained pineapple for the finished dish
Hi, after putting this in the slow cooker, I couldn’t help but think it’s a bit dry!… no sauce to cook the chicken and veggies in… is this right?… am i missing something?
Hi Mato, did you see all of the ingredients in the recipe card? There is soy sauce, honey, Worcestershire, and white vinegar that you’ll be adding then pineapple juice at the end. Hope this helps!
Erin, can this recipe be made in the instant pot. We live on our sailboat, so no room for my crockpot right now. Love so many of your recipes!

Soooo tasty! Perfect to make when you’re craving Chinese takeout. Bon appetit!
Hi Cole! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!

Do you start with cooked chicken? It appears so from the photo.
Hi Jacquie! I used raw chicken for this recipe, and it cooked with the veggies in the slow cooker. I hope this helps!
This was super easy and very healthy. I finished off the leftovers today for lunch. Delicious! I did not change anything in the recipe and it turned out perfect.
I’m so pleased to hear that this was a hit, Jennifer! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
could you leave out the chili paste?
Hi Tonya! I’ve never tried this recipe without the chili paste, but you could experiment with it. I hope you enjoy the recipe if you try it!
Hi Tonya, did you try this without the chilli paste?
Excellent meal, so easy and so tasty. I made for friends’ lunch. Everyone asked me for the recipe.
I’m so happy that it was a hit, Ann! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
Could you please just post the recipe?? I work 60 hours a week. I do NOT have time to search for your recipe.

Recipe was amazing and so delicious! For what it’s worth, I also work 60+ hour weeks and appreciate your posts – Angela’s attitude was unnecessary.
I’m so happy that you enjoyed the recipe, Misha! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
Could rice vinegar be used instead of white vinegar?
Hi Melisa! Since the “sour” flavor in this dish comes from the white vinegar and rice vinegar has a completely different flavor profile, I’m afraid swapping it would impact the outcome.
Very good!

Thanks for all you do.
Hi Steven, you could use tomato paste instead but the flavor will be slightly different than the one intended. Hope you enjoy it!
No measurements were added for some of the ingredients mentioned. This isn’t a practical recipe because of this.

Hi! This recipe looks great but all I have on hand are chicken parts on the bone? Could I use those instead? Thank you!
Hi Jackie! I’ve only tested the recipe as written so not sure how the bone-in chicken will work. If you decide to experiment, let me know how it goes!
Amazing recipe! So delicious.
My family loved it. Definitely will become a regular meal of us.
Hi Alana! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!

Hi Tricia! You’ll only need 1/4 cup of the juice and all of the chunks. Feel free to do what you’d like with the remaining juice.
Thank you so much for your quick reply!
You’re welcome Tricia!

Made just as recipe as. Very delicious! Very easy! My 10 year old daughter made the sauce. Definitely a keeper!
