Simple Sweet and Sour Chicken

Source: mostly here, but a little bit of creative liberty taken by Gregg

Ingredients:

1 chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 green pepper, cut into chunks

1 onion, chopped in large chunks

pineapple tidbits, to taste

1/3 cup white or rice vinegar
4 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons corn starch mixed with 4 teaspoons water

Directions:

Saute the chicken in a little bit of oil till cooked and slightly browned.  Set aside.  Saute onion and pepper in the same pan.

While the vegetables cook, make the sauce: Mix the vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce together and bring to a boil in a small pot. Mix together the cornstarch and water, add to the other ingredients and stir to thicken.

Add the chicken back to the pan with peppers and onions.  Add pineapple tidbits as desired.  Pour sauce over chicken, peppers, onions and pineapple and stir to coat.  Serve over warm rice.

Notes:
On Valentine's Day I came home to the wonderful aroma of sweet and sour chicken being cooked by my dishy husband.  It has since become a regular item on our dinner rotation.  Gregg likes things pretty "saucy" so we always double the recipe for the sauce (ingredients above make about 1/2 cup).  Quick.  Easy.  Yummy.  Enjoy!
