1 box Chicken Helperâ„¢ sweet & sour chicken
2 cups water for rice
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • Carefully pour 1 1/4 cups hot water into skillet with chicken; stir in sauce mix (from Chicken Helper box). Return vegetables to skillet. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and chicken is no longer pink in center. Stir in pineapple; heat until hot. Serve over rice.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The chicken was crispy and the sauce was flavorful. However, I would recommend using a different chicken cooking method, such as frying or baking, to get a more tender result.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up with a sauce that was too thick and a chicken that was too dry. I would recommend a simpler recipe for someone who is not an experienced cook.
