Sweet and Sour Chicken

Sweet and Sour Chicken


  • Author: Cliff
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 pound of chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch chunks
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 bell peppers cut into 1 inch chunks
  • 1 small onion, cut into 1 inch chunks
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • scallion onion, thinly sliced (optional, garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the sauce ahead of time by whisking together the white vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, and sugar.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, gently coat the chunks of chicken in the cornstarch.
  3. Add vegetable oil to medium-size pan over medium-high heat.  Add the chicken to the pan and cook until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, about 6-7 minutes.  If necessary, cook the chicken in batches to not overcrowd the pan.
  4. Remove chicken to a paper-towel lined plate.
  5. Add the bell peppers and onions to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions turn translucent color but still retain a crunchy-texture. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds longer.
  6. Add the sauce to the pan and cook for 2 minutes.  Add the cooked chicken back into the pan and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened (from the cornstarch coated chicken).
  7. Serve over rice and garnish with scallion onions.
