sweet and sour chicken

I have not made this in forever, and I forgot how much I love it. I got this from my Mom, who has been making it forever, so who knows where its from. And it is easy. I promise.

ingredients:

1 Tablespoon olive oil

3 chicken breasts, cut in strips

1 bell pepper, cut in slices (I prefer red or orange)

1 onion, cut in slices (I prefer red onion)

sliced green onions (about 2 will do)

1 can of pineapple chunks (or obviously fresh pineapple is amazing)

1 cup pineapple juice (if I am buying the pineapple chunks, I get the kind in pineapple juice, which usually is exactly 1 cup)

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 tablespoons corn starch

Rice (I use brown rice, it tastes great with this meal)

directions:

cook chicken in skillet with olive oil, about 10 minutes or until cooked. Add sliced green peppers & onions, cook until barely cooked, about 5 minutes.

(can I add just a tip. This may seem obvious, but I know the dinner hour is always hectic, with crying and needy kids, so when I have any time earlier in the day..say while the baby is taking an afternoon nap, I always like to start dinner. In this case, I sliced up all the veggies and the chicken ahead of time and just put back in the fridge. That way this meal was very easy to prepare when the time came)

Meanwhile, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and corn starch. Add to skillet and bring to a boil (sauce will thicken). Before serving, add pineapple chunks. Serve over rice.
