easy sweet and sour chicken

Sweet and Sour Chicken in Crockpot
For one of my bridal showers, the host asked everyone to bring their favorite recipes to put in a recipe box for Kalob and I, which we use all the time, and this is one of our favorites. Best part= it's super easy with only 4 ingredients!
Ingredients:
- 4-6 chicken breasts
- 1 cup Catalina Dressing
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup mustard
Mix Catalina Dressing, brown sugar and mustard. Place chicken breasts in crockpot and pour sauce over. Cook on High for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.
SIDE NOTE: I usually put some mango and pineapple with the chicken to add a little bit mroe color and flavor. :)
ENJOY!
