Sweet and Sour Chicken
If you make the rice ahead of time, this meal is a super easy one-pot wonder!
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Ingredients:
-1 can (20oz) pineapple in juice, drained; 1/2 c. juice reserved
-2 Tbsp. white vinegar
-2 Tbsp. soy sauce
-4 tsp. cornstarch
-1 Tbs. ketchup
-A bit of grated ginger (or 1-2 cubes of this great product)
-1 lb. chicken (breasts or thighs will work), cut into bite-sized pieces
-sugar snap peas or red pepper, or both :)
Make the sauce:
Mix pineapple juice, vinegar, soy sauce, 2 tsp. cornstarch, the ketchup and ginger.
Prep the chicken:
Toss chicken with 2 tsp. cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
Put it all together:
-Heat a bit of oil in a skillet and brown the chicken. Once brown, set aside on a plate.
-In the same pan, cook the bell pepper/snap peas, stirring, until crisp-tender.
-Stir in chicken and pineapple with the veggies.
-Stir in pineapple juice mixture into the chicken mixture and cook until sauce is thickened and chicken is cooked through.
-Serve over rice!
