A healthy Sweet and Sour Chicken. Chinese-American made with 4-ingredients! Delicious served over rice with a side of stir fry vegetables.
My pantry is currently stocked with Trader Joe's seasonal goodies! One of my favorites is their Red Pepper Jelly. At a recent holiday Christmas party, I brought a cheese plate and we were all commenting how yummy this jelly was and that it tastes a bit like sweet and sour sauce. I bought a few jars to stock up. I love this stuff! It is just that good! The next night I mixed it with Soy Sauce and simmered it with chicken for dinner. A fabulous healthy sweet and sour chicken recipe was born. For a from-scratch version with a homemade sauce and lightly coated chicken, try my sweet and sour chicken too.
