Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium)
1 teaspoon minced or grated ginger
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice
10 ounces sweet and sour sauce (in the Asian food section)
3 teaspoons canola oil, divided
2 cups snow peas (I used snap peas ( my toddlers like them better!)
1/2 cup almonds (slivered and "or" or sliced) (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut chicken in 1 inch pieces. Combine cornstarch, soy sauce and ginger in medium bowl. Add chicken, toss to coat, and let stand for 15 minutes. (I actually let the pieces marinate overnight and it made the chicken incredibly tender!).
  • In small bowl, drain the pineapple juice from the can and combine it with the sweet-and-sour sauce.
  • In a wok or large skillet (that's what I used) over medium high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add chicken and stir fry 2 minutes; transfer to plate. Add another couple of drops of oil, then add peas and stir fry for a few minutes or until tender enough for your toddler.
  • Add chicken, almonds and sweet-and-sour mixture and cook, stirring, until chicken is cooked through and coated with sauce. Gently stir in pineapple and heat through.
  • Tip: Serve atop white, fluffy Jasmati Rice!

I've tried many sweet and sour chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of pineapple and green bell pepper really makes it special.

This recipe was absolutely delicious! The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and sour.
