Sweet and Sour Chicken

Serves 4

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts

3 peppers

2 large carrots 

1 large onion

435g tin of pineapple chunks (in natural juice)

1 clove of garlic

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 level tbsp cornflour

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp tomato puree

Low calorie cooking spray

Method

1. To make the sauce, drain the pineapple in a sieve over a bowl and reserve 2 tablespoons of the juice. Combine the juice, garlic, cornflour, tomato puree, red wine vinegar, soy sauce and 100ml of water.
2. Cut the chicken into bite size pieces. Chop the onion and peppers. Peel and chop the carrots. 
3. Spray a frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and place on a high heat. Add the chicken and stir fry for 2/3 minutes until the chicken is slightly browned. Transfer the chicken to a bowl.
4. Add the peppers, onions and carrots to the pan and cook for 5 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan and cook until cooked through.
5. Add the sauce to the chicken and vegetables. Add the pineapple and cook on a low heat for 2 minutes or until the sauce has reached a nice thick glossy consistency. 

This sweet and sour tastes exactly like my local chinese restaurants version but with fewer calories. I served it along with brown rice however, it would also be loved with noodles or cauliflower rice. 

Happy cooking!
