Instructions
1. Place the chicken pieces, bell peppers, and entire can of pineapple (with juice) into a 5-6 quart slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic powder, and ginger until smooth. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
