This is a great fast and easy recipe. Add whatever veggies you like - carrots, broccoli, and water chestnuts would be good additions (I would partially cook/boil carrots or broccoli before adding to stir fry). You could also use pork loin instead of chicken. If you don't like pineapple - I'm sure mandarin oranges would be delicious too. Make it your own!
Sweet & Sour Chicken
2 large chicken breasts, cut in chunks
1 T. vegetable oil or olive oil
1 green pepper, cut in chunks
1 red pepper, cut in chunks
1/2 onion, cut in chunks
1 c. snow peas
1 c. pineapple, cut in chunks + 1 small can pineapple juice, OR 1 15oz. can pineapple chunks, reserve juice
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. white wine vinegar
1 T. cornstarch
2 T. soy sauce
Hot cooked white or brown rice
Preheat a large skillet drizzled with oil. Stir fry peppers, onion, snow peas, and pineapple over high heat for 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan. Add more oil, if needed, and add chicken. Stir fry until no longer pink. Add veggies back in pan.
In small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil for 1 minute until thickened, stirring constantly.
Pour sauce over chicken and veggies and cook until heated through and veggies are tender. Serve over rice.
