Homemade Sweet and Sour Chicken
- Kosher Salt And Ground Black Pepper
- 1 pound Boneless And Skinless Chicken Breasts, Cut Into 1-inch Pieces
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Grapeseed Oil, Divided
- 2 Bell Peppers, Cut Into 1-inch Pieces
- 2 Carrots, Peeled And Sliced Thin, Approximately 1/8 Inch
- 1 Large White Onion, Cut Into 1-inch Pieces
- 1/4 cups French's Tomato Ketchup
- 2 Tablespoons Sriracha Sauce (adjust To Your Heat Tolerance Or Omit)
- 3 Tablespoons Rice Wine Vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Organic Honey
- 1/2 cups Crushed Pineapple (don't Drain, Include The Juice)
- Chopped Scallions And Sesame Seeds, For Garnish
- Sprinkle kosher salt and ground black pepper evenly over chicken, then toss in flour to coat.
- Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken to the skillet.
- Saute chicken, flipping halfway through, until it is cooked through, approximately 5 minutes.
- The chicken should have an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Remove chicken from saucepan and set aside.
- Add remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet.
- Add bell peppers, carrots, and onions.
- Saute veggies for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender but still packing a crunch.
- Remove vegetables and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together ketchup, Sriracha, rice vinegar, honey, and crushed pineapple with juice.
- Once completely mixed, empty sauce into the saucepan and, over medium heat, bring to a boil.
- Allow sauce to simmer for a few minutes.
- It should thicken on its own.
- Once thickened, add vegetables and chicken to the saucepan and toss to coat.
- Remove from heat and serve over rice.
- Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
- This recipe keeps in the fridge, covered in a container, for up to 3 days.
- Note: I specifically suggest Frenchs tomato ketchup due to the fact that it does not contain high fructose corn syrup.
- You may use any tomato ketchup.
