Sweet & Sour Chicken

It feels like I've been doing international cooking the last two days!!! First Italian, meaning pasta and than yesterday I made Chinese. I love to eat Chinese, specially their house special fried rice and their sweet and sour chicken. I have the best Chinese restaurant around my house and they are super fast which is a big plus. 

Yesterday was a try cooking Chinese kind of day!!! and I found this awesome and easy sweet and sour chicken recipe, the easy part made it more appealing to me, LOL!!! If you like the combination of sweet, sour and easy this is your kind of recipe. And if you like Chinese but like to know what you put in it by doing it yourself, this is for you. Give it a try!!!! 

Ingredients:

2-4 whole boneless chicken breasts
3 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 green pepper cut in strips
1 small onion, sliced
1 cup diced celery
1 chicken bouillon cube dissolved in 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 can diced chunk pineapple, undrained
3 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoon water

Directions:

Cut chicken into thin strips.
Pour oil in hot wok and heat cook chicken
Add the rest of the ingredients and cook for 5-10 minutes. Stir constantly then let it simmer for 3 minutes. Serve over rice.


Now, tell me!! doesn't this look good?! It was sooooo good and the colors made it look pretty. I should've add some green in it but I'm not a fan of celery and I used red and orange peppers because they were already in use and the green pepper was not. I really needed to get rid of them before opening the vacuumed sealed green pepper. But next time for sure I will.  

My hubby and I really enjoyed this meal and to top it off, we had brownies for dessert which made my chocolate lover husband a happier eater. I was sooo happy to see him happy and enjoying his food. 

Have a great day and keep warm!!!!
