SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN STIR FRY



Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir Fry image

This bright and colourful stir fry is made with a classic Sweet & Sour Sauce which is truly like what you get at good Chinese restaurants. This is not made by deep frying the chicken - it's tasty enough as it is without adding more calories!! Also see Baked version of the fried Sweet & Sour Chicken - recipe here. I know 1/2 cup of sugar sounds like a lot, but it works out at 1 1/2 tbsp per serving, which isn't too bad!

Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tbsp oil
3 chicken breasts (, boneless and skinless)
2 carrots (, peeled and sliced)
1 green pepper (, cored and diced)
1 onion (, peeled and diced)
2 tbsp water ((optional))
1 can pineapple chunks/tidbits in juice
1/3 cup white vinegar or rice vinegar
1/4 cup pineapple juice ((from the can of pineapple))

2 tbsp soy sauce
3 teaspoons corn starch

  • Cut the chicken breasts into 1/2 inch chunks.
  • Peel and slice the carrots.
  • Cut the pepper and onion into 1/2-1 inch pieces.
  • Drain the pineapple from the can reserving 1/4 cup of the pineapple juice.

  • Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and dump in the sliced carrots, pepper and onion. Cover the wok or frypan with a lid. Check every couple minutes and stir to ensure the vegetables do not stick to the bottom of the pan. If needed, add the optional 2 tbsp of water which will help steam the veggies and keep them from burning.
  • Once the carrots are starting to soften, lower the heat and add the pineapple chunks and cooked chicken.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients, ensuring the corn starch is dissolved.
  • Pour the sauce into the frypan and stir it gently through the chicken and veggies. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the sauce is thickened.
  • Serve on cooked rice.
