Spicy Sweet 'n Sour Chicken

You must try this tantalizing chicken dish. It won't disappoint. This recipe can be used for pork or salmon as well.

Prepare the following ingredients:

• 1 large onion sliced
• vegetable oil
• 6-8 chicken breasts cut into pieces
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon garlic flakes
• 1 & 1/2 cups spicy sweet and sour cooking sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
• essence to season chicken
• sweet pepper (red or green)
• 1 cup or one can pineapple chunks drained (save 1/2 cup juice)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons mustard

First, caramelize 1 large onion in hot pan with a little oil.
















Add a dash of chili flakes and some minced garlic. I used dried but fresh is always better. Remove onions to a baking pan. Cut 6-8 chicken breasts into pieces.















Season with essence.















Brown in hot pan.















Remove from pan and arrange over carmelized onions.
Pour 1 to 1 1/5 cups of spicy sweet and sour sauce over chicken.















(Costco had a prepared bottle that is "fat-free", only 1% sodium per tablespoon, and no MSG or ingredients that you can't pronounce - so we gave it a try. Also a nice dipping sauce for shrimp and egg rolls)
Set aside while you prepare peppers and pineapple.
Drain a can of pineapple chunks and dice a sweet pepper (green, red...your choice).















Caramelize the pineapple and pepper. Add a dash of chili flakes, 1 tablespoon freshly shredded ginger, and some garlic.















Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce and the pineapple juice (about 1/2 cup) to the pineapple and peppers. Add 2 tablespoons mustard.















Simmer about 10 minutes.















Add to chicken in baking pan.















Bake in preheated 400 degree F oven for about 20 to 30 minutes. Serve with veggie stir fry and steamed sticky rice.















Tasty!!
