Lightened Up Sweet and Sour Chicken

By: Joanie Simon from joaniesimon.com
Lightened Up Sweet and Sour Chicken

"A lightened up version of sweet and sour chicken with grilled or pan seared chicken and a light but robust sauce, naturally sweetened with pineapple. Cornstarch does the trick to thicken the sauce. It's also full of fresh peppers and onions. This recipe comes together in 30 minutes or less, making it perfect for weeknights. It's great served over white or brown rice or even quinoa. It's all the flavor of traditional sweet and sour chicken but not fried and not too sweet."
