Sweet and Sour Chicken

Serving Size: 1 cup

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 pounds, boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
  • 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks in heavy syrup, drained and liquid reserved
  • 1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 1 cup fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 medium-sized red bell pepper, cut into 3/4 inch chunks
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup fresh snow peas, trimmed

Directions

Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes or until no pink remains.

Add the pineapple chunks, water chestnuts, broccoli, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

In a small bowl, combine the reserved pineapple liquid, the soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, cornstarch, and sugar; mix well. Stir into the skillet and cook for 3 minutes. Add the snow peas and cook for one minute, or until the sauce thickens. Serve immediately.
