Sweet and Sour Chicken

This was quick and tasty.

3 half chicken breasts
1 (15 oz.) can pineapple chunks (in own juice)
1/4 c. vinegar
3 Tbs. brown sugar
3 Tbs. soy sauce
1 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and cut in strips.


Boil chicken breasts in water with a touch of salt. Remove meat from bone (or if you use boneless/skinless chicken, just cut into chinks) and cut into bite size chunks. Put chunks into skillet with pineapple, including juice. Add garlic salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for about 3 to 5 minutes. Combine sugar, soy, and vinegar to taste. Add to chicken and pineapple. Add green bell pepper strips, then simmer again for about 3 tgo 5 minutes.

Serve over rice. If you like more sauce for your rice, buy a small can of pineapple juice and add to pineapple chunks and chicken at the beginning of the recipe. Double vinegar, brown sugar, and soy sauce part.

I made this using precooked chicken (I buy boneless skinless breasts when on sale, we barbecue them, chop them and store them in plastic tubs in the freezer. They defrost in 2 minutes in the microwave and are a great time saver - I do the same with ground beef.) I did about 1 1/2 times this recipe - used 1 15 oz can of pineapple and 1 of the smaller cans.... I put rice in the rice cooker when I started and everything was ready in 20 minutes. Yum! There were no left overs.
