Sweet and Sour Chicken

Ok, so this isn't your typical sweet and sour chicken.  It is a healthy version of it, which means as close as we're going to get.  I had to modify the recipe quite a bit to make it healthy, but I do have a link to the original site if you'd like.  Also, I left out the cornstarch because it adds a lot of unnecessary carbs, but in turn I have to settle for the sauce being thin.  I thought considering all the changes, it still turned out great and the flavor was still delicious.
Enjoy!



Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Limeade Chicken
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts
1/2 cup lime juice
4 Tablespoons Splenda brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
2 Tablespoons white vinegar
1 bag fresh stir fry veggies
Sesame seeds
Brown rice

Directions:
Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Combine lime juice, brown sugar, ketchup, and vinegar in a bowl. Mix well and pour over chicken breasts. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high 3-4 hours. The last half hour add a bag of fresh stir fry veggies to the crock pot.  Continue cooking in the crock pot for at least 30 minutes until veggies have cooked.  Serve on brown rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
