Chicken Marinade

Sweet and Sour Sauce

For Cooking

Method

Chicken Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts, soy sauce, cornstarch, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well to coat the chicken. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Sweet and Sour Sauce

  1. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, ketchup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, cornstarch, and water. Whisk together until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Set aside.

Cooking the Chicken and Vegetables

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the chopped bell pepper, onion, pineapple chunks, and sliced carrot. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.

  3. 5

    Combine Everything

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Serve

  1. 6

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the sweet and sour chicken hot over rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.
