Sweet and Sour Chicken

sweetrose2's Note:

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.)

I make this regularly. Its easy and delicious. I use only chicken breast. I made it for a party and everyone wanted the recipe.

[xena i am]

The sauce was REALLY great =D But i didn't like it when it was cooked with the meat. So next time im going to cook the meat all the way through and then pour the sauce on top =)
