Sweet and Sour Chicken

I found this recipe years ago and am now copying it here from our family cookbook binder. Enjoy!

Sweet and Sour Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1 (20 oz) can chunk pineapple
• 2 chicken breast halves
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 ¼ cup pineapple juice
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 Tbl cornstarch
• 2 Tbl soy sauce

Directions:

1. Open canned pineapple and drain off juice to use in sauce.  Reserve pineapple chunks to serve on top of chicken later, if desired.  
2. Cut up chicken into cubes and cook in pan on stovetop until desired doneness.  
3. In a saucepan, over medium-high/high heat, mix brown sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar, salt, cornstarch and soy sauce.  
4. Cook and slowly bring to a boil.  Sauce will thicken as it starts to boil.  
5. Remove from heat when it reaches a boil and stir in cooked chicken.  
6. Serve chicken and sauce over cooked white rice and top with pineapple.

Marsha's Notes:

If you don’t like pineapple chunks on your chicken, then omit the pineapple chunks and instead buy canned pineapple juice separately for the sauce.

This is also good if you use breaded and fried chicken cubes.
