Sweet and Sour Chicken w/ Pineapple

You'll need:
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup pineapple juice (the juice from a 20 oz. can of pineapple chunks is what I use)
1 tsp. soy sauce
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. water

Mix the sugar, pineapple juice, soy sauce, vinegar, and ketchup together in a saucepan, and bring it to a boil. Mix the cornstarch with the water and mix. Gradually stir in the cornstarch/water mix, and keep stirring until it changes color and thickens up.

Add to the sauce the meat from two chicken breasts which have been cut into bite-size pieces and sauteed until cooked through. (3 breasts will work)

Add
1 can pineapple chunks (20 oz. - the juice is already in the sauce)
1 green pepper, cut into 1-in. squares.

Mix together until thoroughly heated, and serve with rice.

For a long time, I couldn't find this recipe, and made it wth equal parts sugar, catsup, and vinegar, which also worked out fine, so you've definitely got some leeway on this recipe.

Of course, IRLR, so what do I know?

That looks nummy! I had no idea S&S had catchup in it. (Ketchup? Catsup? can't we just agree on ONE spelling? Nooooo, that's too easy!) I'm going to try this while my mom is here.

p.s. with friends like you, who needs commenters? :-)
