I got this recipe from a chef that had cooking classes that I took when it was something that interested me. The original recipe used pork, but I have always made it with chicken. I really like this recipe, because it is so much healthier than the breaded and fried chicken you get for take out. I really don't measure when I make this. I use 2 chicken breasts, 1 pepper, 1 onion, and pineapple until it looks good. I also double the sauce recipe. However I am posting the original recipe.

Sweet & Sour Chicken

12 oz. Chicken strips
1 c. Pineapple chunks
1 c. Green Pepper thin strips
1 c. Onion thin strips

Sauce
½ c. Pineapple Juice
1 T. Soy Sauce low sodium
1 T. Rice Vinegar
2 t. Cornstarch

Marinade
2 T. Rice Vinegar
2 T. Soy Sauce low sodium
2 T. Ginger fresh minced

Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add chicken to marinade, toss to coat and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
In another small bowl combine the sauce ingredients and mix well. Lightly coat a nonstick pan with oil and place over medium high heat. Add chicken to hot pan and stir fry until cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside. Recoat pan with oil if needed and reduce heat to medium. Add bell pepper and onion and sauté until they begin to soften. Return cooked chicken to pan along with pineapple and sauce mixture. Bring ingredients to a boil. Remove pan from heat.
Serve over rice.
