Equipment

Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup picante sauce (I used medium salsa)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca
1 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (I used 1 teaspoon jarred ginger instead)
3 cups chopped broccoli florets
1 medium red pepper, cut into pieces

Instructions

Ideal slow cooker size: 4-Quart.
Grease your slow cooker with nonstick spray.
Place the chicken in the slow cooker.
Season the chicken to taste with salt and pepper or your favorite seasoning. (I used Jane's crazy mixed-up salt.)
Place the remaining ingredients in the slow cooker and toss/stir to combine.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours or on LOW for 3 to 4 hours, stirring until the chicken is done and vegetables are crisp-tender.
Season to taste with additional salt, pepper and soy sauce.
Serve with brown rice and additional soy sauce, if desired
