3. Add the chicken pieces to the zipper baggie and shake until the pieces are each covered in flour. (Anyone else remember Shake 'N Bake?)
4. Add the olive oil and the chicken to a skillet and brown the pieces. (They do not need to be fully cooked since they'll be in the slow cooker soon. Just brown them enough so that they are golden on the outside.)

6. Pour the mixed sauce into the slow cooker.
7. Rinse the pea pods and add them to the slow cooker.

11. When the chicken has finished browning, add it to the slow cooker.
12. Stir all the ingredients until they are fully saturated.
13. If needed, stir in the water to make the sauce thinner as preferred.
14. Cook in the slow cooker for 5-6 hours on the Low setting or 7-8 hours on High.
