SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN
Instead of deep-frying chunks of chicken, this streamlined take on an American Chinese restaurant favorite opts for stir-frying it. Sweetness comes from pineapple chunks and juice, plus a touch of brown sugar, while rice wine vinegar delivers that pleasing sour punch.

SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN
This has been a family favorite around here. I usually don't put in the green pepper(because I'm not a big fan of them). The kids love the sauce. I usually serve this with rice. ( I guessed at the 6 servings; I always just use the anount of pieces that I need and don't pay attention to the number of pounds of chicken that I have used.)
