Sweet and Sour Chicken

Sweet and Sour Chicken 🍗🫑🍍

Sharing a leaner and cleaner version of takeout sweet and sour chicken that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or meal prep! It is high in protein, packed with flavor, and comes together in less than an hour. I use a process called “”velveting” to make the chicken breast extra tender. Enjoy!

Hey guys, let me show you how to make this leaner and cleaner version of a sweet and sour chicken. It’s high in protein and has the perfect flavor combinations of sweet, tangy, and savory. I butterfly the chicken breast and cut it into 1/2-in cubes. Add it to a bowl with baking soda and water in a process called velveting. Set the chicken aside for 20 to 30 minutes to tenderize. Then prep the onions and peppers. This recipe takes less than an hour, cooks in one pan, and is perfect for your next weekn night dinner or meal prep. Next up, I combine all the ingredients for our sauce. Add cornstarch so it thickens, then mix it well. I wash the chicken to remove all the baking soda. Then pat it dry with paper towels. Season, add cornstarch, then mix it well. I heat up a pan, add some oil, and I cook our chicken in batches. Cook each side for about 2 to three minutes until no longer pink. Set the chicken aside. Saute the peppers and onions. Add the chicken back in. Add some pineapple and mix it well. Add the sauce, let it simmer, turn down the heat, and then give it one more mix. Next, steam some rice, or you can use prepackaged rice. Finally, I just build the bowls. You can find the full recipe and macers listed on my recipe website. Hope you enjoy.
