Sweet and sour chicken

This recipe is a lighter version of the usual sweet and sour chicken and also easier to make but absolutely delicious!

Orange chicken with pineapple chunks.
Note: you can add bell peppers if you like them too.

You can also add garlic & ginger, you just have to heat them in the skillet for about 20s before adding the pineapple and sauce. This time I made without them and it tasted nice regardless.

    Transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.

  5. 5

    Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. When hot (about 20 seconds) add thr pineapple and the sauce and stir to coat. Let the sauce simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes until the pineapple is tender.

  6. 6

    Return the chicken to the pan and toss until well coated with the sauce.

  7. 7

    Transfer to the plate, sprinkle sesame seeds or scallions on top (optional) for garnish and serve.
