Quick. Simple ingredients. Perfect!! Thanks for the wonderful recipe. I did add ingredients to the finished original recipe. I added half a small onion, and one tbsp of ketchup. :D

Other reviewers mention using ketchup to attain the red color of the usual Sweet and Sour. All recipes I have seen or used actually call for marachino cherry juice to make the color more vibrant. This seems more logical since there are often cherries in Sweet and Sour dishes. The ketchup idea just seems a bit strange to me.

This recipe was very good although I did make a few changes based on other reviews. When stir-frying, I sprinkled the chicken with ground red pepper to give it a little spicyness. I added sliced onion to the vegetables. And I doubled the sauce and added 1/2c ketchup to it. Also, I used a 20 oz. can of pineapple. Served with white rice and there was plenty of sauce to spoon over the rice. I'm not sure if the original recipe would be 5 stars because I didn't follow it exactly but with these changes it turned out well.

My family really likes this and it's so easy, and much lower in fat than the fried version.

this was absolutely delicious! I added carrots and green onion and yellow onion, seseme oil, and used frozen breaded chicken tenderloins. I just baked them, chopped them and added them to the cooked sauce! WONDERFUL, i didnt really need to thicken it up either because the breading did that. It was great. I added just a little ketchup just like others suggested.. GREAT recipe, keeper!

I've made this as is and it was very good. With a few changes it can be awesome. I made a lot more sauce using a few different recipes for reference and I added onion. I will definitely make this again.

Yum. I cubed the meat from three chicken breasts for this recipe, and used only green bell pepper. I also added extra garlic to suit my personal taste. Otherwise I followed the recipe precisely. The sweet and sour sauce was spot-on, but I feel like the recipe would have been a true 5 if the chicken had the classic crispy coating. I know this is a much healthier alternative, but if I make this again I'm going to add the coating! I'm willing to sacrifice a few health points for the perfect sweet and sour. :)

This was alright..I thought the chicken and pineapple went real well together but the sauce was not strong enough for me. Ive made sweet and sour meatballs that had half grape jelly and half chillie sauce. Maybe that will work...Thanks anyways.

Thanks for all of the ideas. I wish we could create a IV recipe that combines all of your ideas. It was frustrating to have to go through and take notes. I cut up the chicken and let it marinate in olive oil, soy sauce, Mirin rice wine, fresh ginger, and other spices advised in a post. Then, I sauteed the meat in COCONUT oil (virgin). Gave it a different taste and yummy smell. I added garlic, Mirin rice wine, other advised spices, more fresh ginger, NUTMEG, dried yellow mustard, salt, powdered ginger, garlic powder, and stir fried those together. For veggies, I used the bell peppers--but I added China pea pods,carrots, water chestnuts, and a few other things suggested. I boiled the sauce, but I couldn't get it to thicken. So, I added corn starch that I first mixed with orange juice to get rid of the lumps. That added a yummy flavor. I brought it to a boil, added it to the meat concoction, and then I baked all of it for 30 minutes. It turned out really well by combining everyone's ideas--including adding catsup, less soy sauce, more brown sugar, a tad more vinegar, and more pineapple. I served with sticky jasmine rice. I got rave reviews. Great recipe. Thanks for the added ideas.

I followed this recipe exactly as posted and boy was it good! I love making stirfrys and I have been looking for a good sweet and sour chicken one and am so glad that I finally found it. We gobbled this one down, I will make it again very soon. Thank you so much!

my husband said its "the best chinese food ever!" and he hates chinese food. I had to add a ton of brown sugar to the original recipe because my husband forgot to get the 20 oz like people had recommended. I think it would have made it much better. oh and I floured the chicken and fried it... then let the oil dry out of it before covering it with the sauce. and I put some cornstarch on the rice to make instant rice, sticky rice. it was great, but read the other reader's recommendations

If I could give this recipe a higher rating I would. At work I am in charge of a staff meal. We feed about 100 people. Anyway, I had to find a recipe that was easy( I cook for the AM and then I leave notes a such for the PM staff to follow) I came acroos this recipe and so I used it. It came out wondefully!!! I however did a couple of things. I didn't have anyway pineapple juice so I pureed a fresh pineapple! WAYYYYYY Better than canned pineapple! The other thing is, I mixed Sweet Chili Sauce, Soy Sauce, Ginger, Sesame Oil, Red Wine Vinager, and a 4 T. of Sarrono Chili Sauce and poured it over the chicken to marande, while setting up the meal! (keep in mind I was maranding 40lbs of chicken). Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I will use it again. This is WAY better than my other recipe!!!

This was delicious! I only used 1 T olive oil instead of 2 T vegetable oil. I also doubled the sauce like others had suggested. I spooned over brown rice with green onions. It was so good, everyone loved it and the leftovers were to DIE for! Great recipe. It's definitely going in the box of keepers.
