Chicken Marinade

Sweet and Sour Sauce

Method

Chicken Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts, soy sauce, minced garlic, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Sweet and Sour Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, cornstarch, and water. Stir well and bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cooking the Chicken and Vegetables

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the chopped bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are slightly softened. Add the pineapple chunks and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.

  3. 5

    Combine Everything

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to combine and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
