Sweet and Sour Chicken



Here is mom's delicious sweet and sour chicken recipe. After I fed it to Matt this weekend and he told me to post it. This is SO easy to make and if you have frozen chicken, a can of pineapple and some rice, you can make it with stuff from your pantry! I don't have a picture of the chicken handy, so here's a cute one of Harrison and his cousins. We can just pretend they are anxiously awaiting a dinner of delicious chicken!



Mix together the juice from 1 can of pineapple, 1/3 cup white vinegar, 2 Tbsp cornstarch (or even a little less, depending on how thick you prefer it), 1/2 c brown sugar and 2 Tbsp soy sauce.



Cut the chicken into cubes (I usually do about a pound or a little less) salt and pepper and flour the chicken. Brown the chicken and when you think it has about five minutes left, add in cut up red peppers and red onions. When the veggies are soft enough and the chicken is cooked, add the sauce and pineapple. Continue to cook until the sauce is as thick as you would like it. Eat over rice, enjoy!!
