    This sweet and sour chicken is so amazingly delicious! Next time you crave Chinese food skip the take-out, and give this much healthier recipe a try. The chicken is so tender with veggies and a saucy coating served over some yummy rice. I guarantee it will be devoured in no time, but if there is anything left over it makes an amazing lunch the next day.

    Feel free to double the sauce recipe to have some extra sauce to pour over the rice. I am not a pineapple fan so I left it out, but if you want to add it go for it! This is definitely a recipe your whole family will enjoy.
