SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN STIR FRY
This bright and colourful stir fry is made with a classic Sweet & Sour Sauce which is truly like what you get at good Chinese restaurants. This is not made by deep frying the chicken - it's tasty enough as it is without adding more calories!! Also see Baked version of the fried Sweet & Sour Chicken - recipe here. I know 1/2 cup of sugar sounds like a lot, but it works out at 1 1/2 tbsp per serving, which isn't too bad!

SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN
Instead of deep-frying chunks of chicken, this streamlined take on an American Chinese restaurant favorite opts for stir-frying it. Sweetness comes from pineapple chunks and juice, plus a touch of brown sugar, while rice wine vinegar delivers that pleasing sour punch.

SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN STIR FRY
I like S&S chicken, but not too sweet. The banana ketchup has some sweetness to it already, so I skip the sugar. Suit yourself! It works either way!

Steps:
- 1. In a measuring cup, combine 1/2 cup of water, ketchup and the brown sugar if using regular ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, salt and 1 Tb. cornstarch. (I buy my fresh pineapple cored, so there's usually a little pineapple juice in the bottom of the container - use that instead of water if you have it!) Set aside.
- 2. Put rest of cornstarch in a zipper bag, add chicken and shake to coat.
- 3. In wok, heat oil, add chicken and veggies. Stir fry until chicken is cooked. Make a well in the center. Add reserved liquid mixture. Stir until mixture thickens. Add pineapple chunks. Sprinkle a few drops sesame oil on top. Serve with rice.

Steps:
- Cut the chicken breasts into 1/2 inch chunks.
- Peel and slice the carrots.
- Cut the pepper and onion into 1/2-1 inch pieces.
- Drain the pineapple from the can reserving 1/4 cup of the pineapple juice.
- Heat a wok or frypan on medium high heat. Add 2 tbsp oil. Stir in the chicken and cook until no longer pink. Scoop the chicken onto a plate.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and dump in the sliced carrots, pepper and onion. Cover the wok or frypan with a lid. Check every couple minutes and stir to ensure the vegetables do not stick to the bottom of the pan. If needed, add the optional 2 tbsp of water which will help steam the veggies and keep them from burning.
- Once the carrots are starting to soften, lower the heat and add the pineapple chunks and cooked chicken.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients, ensuring the corn starch is dissolved.
- Pour the sauce into the frypan and stir it gently through the chicken and veggies. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the sauce is thickened.
- Serve on cooked rice.
