Method
Marinating Chicken
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.
Marinate
Add soy sauce and cornstarch to the chicken pieces. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Making Sweet & Sour Sauce
Combine Sauce Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, rice vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir well to combine.
Cook Sauce
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cooking Chicken and Vegetables
Heat Oil
In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Cook Chicken
Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
Add Sauce
Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to evenly coat everything in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Serving
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
