Ingredients

2 medium carrots
2 green onions
4 celery stalks
1 garlic clove
8 ounces canned bamboo shoots
8 ounces canned water chestnuts
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup water
3 cups cooked white rice

Preparation

Slice the carrots, green onions and celery. Crush the garlic. Rinse and slice the bamboo shoots and water chestnuts.
Heat the oil in a skillet and brown chicken on all sides.
Transfer chicken to a Crock-Pot®.
Add all ingredients except the cornstarch and water. Stir, then cover and cook on low heat setting for 6 to 8 hours.
Turn Crock-Pot to high. Combine cornstarch and cold water, stirring until smooth, then stir into the Crock-Pot liquid. Position Crock-Pot lid ajar to allow steam to escape. Cook on high until thickened, about 15 minutes.
Serve chicken and vegetables over rice.
