Sweet and Sour Chicken

A long time ago, I was reading my cousin Melissa's blog and she had posted a recipe for sweet and sour chicken. So I tried it and it's yummy. We made it for dinner last night.


So Here's the Recipe:
3-4 Chicken Breasts, I like to cut mine while they are still frozen into chunks and let them soak in 1 cup of soy sauce and 1 cup of coke for a couple of hours.
1 Green Pepper
1 Red Pepper
1 Red Onion
1 can of Pineapple Chunks
Chopped up Carrots....as many as your family likes
Snow Peas.....as many as your family likes

I like to cook my chicken seperately from the veggies, because veggies cook more quickly. I always drain the excess fluid off the chicken and then cook veggies in the same pan.

Sweet and Sour Sauce:

Pineapple Juice
1/2 cup Ketchup
1/2 cup White Vinegar
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
3 TB Cornstarch
2 TB Soy Sauce

Drain Pineapple juice into pan, add ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce and cornstarch. Stir sauce with a wire whisk until it is smooth and clear when you pull the whisk up.

Once your sauce is clear and think and smooth, add sauce in small amounts to the veggies, pineapple chunks and chicken, until everything is evenly coated with sauce. You can serve over rice or oriental noodles.
