Sweet Sour Chicken


This was a new recipe that we tried last night. We really enjoyed it! (by the way, I totally stole the picture from the website I got the recipe)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes (I only used 2 for my family, and it was plenty)
6 T. flour seasoned with 1/2 t. salt and 1/2 t. pepper
1/4 c. olive oil
1/8 c. cornstarch
1 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. vinegar
1 20 oz. can pineapple tidbits (reserve juice)
1/2 c. pineapple juice (use reserved juice)
1/2 c. chicken broth
1 T. soy sauce
1 red bell pepper, sliced (we also used a green pepper)
1/4 c. onion, sliced
Coat chicken in flour and fry in olive oil until browned. Drain and set aside. In same skillet, combine cornstarch, salt, pepper, brown sugar, vinegar, pineapple juice, chicken broth and soy sauce. Cook and stir until boiling. Reduce heat and cook for 2 minutes (mine reduced much faster, so I added about 1/2 c. water to make it more saucy). Add chicken, peppers, onions, and pineapple. Cook until heated through. Serve over rice. Enjoy!
