Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir Fry

Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir Fry

I got this recipe from The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook.  I got this cookbook a couple years ago to try and eat healthier; it has surprised me quite a bit how many of these recipes are really good and healthily for you. 

Ingredients:

1 TBPS Cornstarch

1 tsp. Garlic Powder

¼ tsp. Salt

Ground black pepper, to taste

1 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite pieces

1 TBPS Sesame Oil (will use the oil 2 different times)

1 C.  Onion (cut into ½ in. wide strips)

1 C. Green Bell Pepper (cut into ½ in. wide strips)

2 TBPS freshly minced garlic

¼ C. Sweet and Sour sauce (La Choy) (I use the whole bottle)

1 C. of Rice cooked (I use minute rice)

Directions:

In a bowl, combine the cornstarch, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Add the chicken; mix until chicken is coated well.  In a large skillet or wok add 1-teaspoon sesame oil, onions, green peppers and garlic.  Cook until the garlic softens and the vegetables are crisp-tender (about 2-4 minutes). Transfer veggies to a bowl and cover to keep warm.   In the pan add another teaspoon sesame oil and chicken.  Cook until the pieces are no longer pink. When chicken is done add the veggies and cook adding the rest of the sesame oil cook for about 3 minutes. Then add sauce cook long enough for it to get warm. Serve over rice and enjoy!!
