This Sweet and Sour Chicken is super easy to throw together and it tastes so much better than the restaurant version!
01
Add chicken and cornstarch to a large ziplock bag. Shake to coat the chicken with the cornstarch. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet.
02
Working in two batches add the chicken and cook over medium high heat until browned, 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
03
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same pan. Add the peppers and saute until browned and slightly tender, 3-4 minutes.
04
Prepare the sauce by whisking together sugar, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, onion and garlic powder in a small bowl.
05
Add the sauce and the chicken back to the pan. In a small bowl whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water.
06
Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
Serve immediately with green onions and sesame seeds for garnish, if desired. Serve with white rice to soak up all of the delicious sauce!
