Sweet and Sour Chicken

Ingredients:
1 Onion, chopped
1 Tbl. Vegetable oil
3 Tbl. Sugar
1 ½ Tbl. Cornstarch
1 Tbl. Cider vinegar
1 Tbl. Soy sauce
½ tsp. Salt
2 ½ Tbl. Ketchup
½ cup Pineapple juice reserved from can
8 oz. Can Pineapple chunks (I use a 20 oz., remember to reserve the juice, if you don’t have quite ½ cup add some water)
Veggies
Of choice chopped into bite size chunks. I usually use carrots, celery, and a variety of green, red, yellow, and/or orange bell peppers

Directions:
Stir-fry the onion and chicken in 1 tablespoon of the oil (or I prefer a nonstick spray like Pam) until done. Add desired vegetables and stir until tender crisp.

In another pan mix sugar and cornstarch together. Add the vinegar, soy, salt, ketchup and pineapple juice. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Add pineapple chunks. Thicken a bit more. Pour over chicken mixture.

* I double the sauce recipe and add 1 whole green and red pepper and about 3 or 4 carrots. This makes enough for my family of four and then some. I add even less sugar and you can add more cider vinegar to your liking. I usually measure out 2 cups of dried rice and then cook it. You’ll have a little extra rice, but we eat it up. It's a delicious and nutritious meal!!
