Sweet and Sour Chicken III
Really yummy! I used 3 lbs of chicken and tripled the sauce and had plenty. The sauce is also so flavorful that a little went a long way. I cubed the chicken and seasoned with kosher salt, pepper, a dash of cayenne pepper, garlic powder and some fresh garlic and let it sit in a ziploc bag while I prepped the remaining ingredients. I then assembled the sauce in a bowl to allow the cornstarch to start to thicken. I used a 20oz can of pineapple in heavy syrup. I pulsed it a few times in the food processer so that it was smaller pieces of pineapple. I sauteed the chicken with only a small amount of oil and when almost finished, I added the veggies. I used carrots and zuccini in matchsticks, a red pepper and a vidalia onion. The sauce was added last and it thickened up VERY quickly. What a thick flavorful sauce! I think peanuts as a garnish or water chestnuts would add a nice crunch. I'll try that next time. :-)
