General Tso Chicken in Crockpot

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken, cut in 1-inch chunks
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon dried ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or more to taste
1 (16-ounce) package stir-fry vegetables (to add later)

1. Use a 4-quart slow cooker. Put the chicken into the bottom of your crockpot and then add the garlic, brown sugar, ginger, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Toss the chicken to fully coat with the sauce ingredients.
2. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, then add the frozen vegetables. Re-cover and cook on high for an hour, or until the veggies are fully hot and the chicken has reached desired tenderness.
3. Serve with white or brown rice.

This was pretty good, but not really General Tso Chicken. So as long as you don't expect what you might find in a Chinese restaurant, you should be happy. Really easy dinner. Instead of chopping chicken into pieces, I used whole boneless/skinless chicken thighs, and just broke it up into pieces at the end. I added a bag of frozen broccoli. Definitely needed a full hour on high to get the broccoli hot enough. The kids seemed to like it.
