Sweet and Sour Chicken

Sweet and Sour Chicken is a popular dish in Chinese cuisine. It consists of diced chicken, usually deep-fried, and then tossed in a sweet and sour sauce. The sauce typically contains ingredients such as vinegar, sugar, and tomato ketchup. Sometimes vegetables such as bell peppers and onions are added to the dish. Sweet and Sour Chicken is usually served with steamed rice.

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup pineapple chunks
