Awesome Sweet & Sour Chicken Recipe

Donni Shields is a great cook and is responsible for this wonderful Sweet & Sour Chicken!

Sweet and Sour Chicken

Chicken
4-6 Chicken Breasts
1/3 C. Flour
1/3 C. Oil

Sauce
1 can 13 oz. pineapple chunks (such a thing does not exist. We used 20+ oz.)
1 C. sugar
2 Tblsp. Cornstarch
¾ C. Cidar Vinegar (the brown vinegar) *Note: Donni uses ½ C. vinegar and ¼ C. water
1 Tblsp. Soy Sauce , ½ tsp Ginger (When Linda Broker made the sauce at the class on the 15th, she added some fresh grated ginger. About a tablespoon or 2 actually – DELICIOUS!!)
1 Chicken Bullion Cube
1 large green pepper (strips)

Directions
1. Wash chicken and coat with flour
2. Heat oil in large skillet adding chicken pieces a few at a time and brown. Remove to
shallow roasting pan and sprinkle with salt & pepper.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
4. Make sauce: drain pineapple pouring syrup into a 2 cup measuring cup. Add water to
make a total of 1 ¼ cups liquid.
5. Combine sugar and cornstarch in pineapple juice with soy sauce, vinegar, ginger & bullion
cube. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
6. Pour over chicken and bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Add pepper strips and pineapple. Bake 30 minutes more or until bubbly.

Rice
Just spoke with my client from Thailand. Figured she’d be an expert on rice. She said to use Jasmine (longer grain) and to use 1 part rice to 2 parts water. Add rice to water, bring to a boil, cover and turn down to a simmer for 20 minutes. Just fluff it with a fork. She said rice cookers are not a must for good rice. She fixes rice daily and doesn’t own one! * Serve over cooked rice with a small salad of some sort and maybe a vegetable? Teri Cooper still remembers this from when Donni brought it to her house when Camille was born! She raved!
