Quick and Easy Sweet and Sour Chicken
Ingredients Needed
-
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch cubes
-
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
-
3 celery ribs, sliced
-
2 green bell peppers, diced
-
1 onion, chopped
-
½ cup ketchup
-
½ cup lemon juice
-
½ cup crushed pineapple with syrup
-
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
Instructions
Mix together flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Coat the chicken pieces in the flour mixture until evenly covered.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same pan and heat over medium. Toss in the celery, bell peppers, and onion, and cook, stirring often, until slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together ketchup, lemon juice, pineapple with syrup, and brown sugar until well combined.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, pour in the pineapple mixture, and bring to a simmer. Stir the chicken and vegetables in the sauce until everything is heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
