Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium)
1 teaspoon minced or grated ginger
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice
10 ounces sweet and sour sauce (in the Asian food section)
3 teaspoons canola oil, divided
2 cups snow peas (I used snap peas ( my toddlers like them better!)
1/2 cup almonds (slivered and "or" or sliced) (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut chicken in 1 inch pieces. Combine cornstarch, soy sauce and ginger in medium bowl. Add chicken, toss to coat, and let stand for 15 minutes. (I actually let the pieces marinate overnight and it made the chicken incredibly tender!).
  • In small bowl, drain the pineapple juice from the can and combine it with the sweet-and-sour sauce.
  • In a wok or large skillet (that's what I used) over medium high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add chicken and stir fry 2 minutes; transfer to plate. Add another couple of drops of oil, then add peas and stir fry for a few minutes or until tender enough for your toddler.
  • Add chicken, almonds and sweet-and-sour mixture and cook, stirring, until chicken is cooked through and coated with sauce. Gently stir in pineapple and heat through.
  • Tip: Serve atop white, fluffy Jasmati Rice!

This dish was way too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili peppers or omitting them altogether.

The chicken was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was amazing. I would recommend cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time to get a more tender result.

This dish was too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or adding a bit of vinegar to balance out the flavors.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was excellent. I would recommend using a different chicken cooking method, such as frying or baking, to get a more tender result.

I've made this recipe a few times now and it always turns out great. The chicken is always crispy and the sauce is always flavorful. I like to add a little extra pineapple and green bell pepper for a bit more sweetness and crunch.
