10 Minute Sweet Sour Chicken Noodle Salad Recipes

EASY SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN

Steps:

• To a medium saucepan, add all ingredients except water and cornstarch, whisk to combine, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• To a small bowl, add the water, cornstarch, and stir to combine.
• Add the water and cornstarch mixture to saucepan, reduce heat to low, and allow sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes while you make the chicken; whisk intermittently.
• To a large ziptop bag, add the chicken, cornstarch, salt and pepper to taste, seal, and shake to coat chicken evenly.
• To a large skillet, add 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil, chicken, and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until chicken has cooked through.

• Optionally garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
