Sweet and Sour Chicken

Here is a recipe for homemade sweet and sour! Just a heads up, Michael and I like (love) leftovers, so... with that said, you may just want to half this recipe or make some changes of your own! Enjoy!

3-4 chicken breasts
2 green bell peppers
1 small/medium onion
1-2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp garlic, minced (or to taste)
1 can (20 oz) Pineapple tidbits, or chunks

Pineapple juice (from can)
1 cup vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup Ketchup
2 1/2 tsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp Ginger

2 tbsp Cornstarch w/ water to make paste

Thaw chicken if needed. Heat skillet to broil chicken. Pour the soy sauce in the skillet and put chicken in to cook, takes about 10 minutes to fully cook through. Chop up chicken to bite size pieces. Chop green pepper and onion, throw in with chicken and let cook through. Once onions are close to clear and peppers are a little softened, throw pineapple bits in (without juice) to grill a bit. Combine the rest of the ingredients in separate bowl, whisk and pour into chicken mixture. Make cornstarch paste and pour with the rest. Let it boil a bit to let thicken the sauce and heat the sauce through. Serve with rice or by itself

If you like it more saucy, use less cornstarch, if you like it really thick, add more!

Let me know if you try this and how you like it!
