Sweet & Sour Pineapple Chicken
Ingredients:
1 pound whole Chicken Breasts-boneless & skinless-cut into bite sized pieces
2 cups fresh Pineapple, peeled & cute into large cubes (I cooked mine ahead of time **see below)
1 red bell Pepper
1/8 cup Rice Wine Vinegar
2 tablespoons Nam Pla
A few dashes Red Pepper flakes
2 medium sized Yellow Squash
4 teaspoons Corn Starch
3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
1 cup yellow baby Corn
1 yellow Onion-sliced
2 medium sized carrots-peeled & sliced diagonally
3-4 cloves fresh Garlic-minced
1/8 cup fresh Ginger-minced
2 tablespoons granulated white Sugar
Directions:
Place pineapple into a small pot over stovetop. Add 1 cup water & sugar. Bring to a boil, remove from heat & set aside. Drain juice, add an additional ½ cup water, & mix well with corn starch. In a large wok, heat oil, then sauté ginger, onions, and garlic till golden brown & fragrant. Add chicken, soy sauce, nam pla & red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes. Add carrots. Cook for 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients (except water & corn starch) & cook for another 2 minutes. Once all ingredients & veggies are tender, add cornstarch & water. Cook for 30 seconds. Turn off & remove from heat. Serve over Jasmine Rice
What an amazing dish and sauce. I hate that deep fried stuff. This is much better! I know that I could so easily make a veggie version. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so delicious!! Sweet and sour is my favorite!! My family gets mad because I always steal all the pineapple chunks...they're the best part!
ReplyDelete@professorvegetable-thanks for stopping by, & YES, I think it would be quite easy to prepare a vegeterian option. If you eat seafood, shrimp would go great with the sauce.
ReplyDelete@Hey Steph-so your a pineapple thief huh? Well make sure to pre-cook it on the stovetop. It adds an amazing pineapple flavor.
This looks so delicious. Your pictures are stunning.
