Sweet and Sour chicken

Sweet and Sour chicken

Serves 4

Ingredients

800g chicken breast (about 4)
2 tsp white pepper
½ tbsp onion powder
½ tbsp garlic powder
Corn flour – you need a bit
2 eggs – whisked

Rice bran for frying
1 large brown onion - cut into bite-sized pieces
1 red pepper – cut into bite-sized pieces
1 yellow pepper - cut into bite-sized pieces
1.5 cups of pineapple in juice

Sauce:
2 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp tomato sauce
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
½ cup sugar
4 tbsp pineapple juice (from the can)
2 tbsp corn flour mixed with ½ cup of water

1.5 cups white rice

Instructions

Get your rice cooking.

Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces, sprinkle the white pepper, onion and garlic powder over it. Set aside. Chop the capsicum and onions.

Mix together the sauce ingredients, set aside.

Coat the chicken in roughly ½ a cup of corn flour, then whisk together the eggs, drop the chicken pieces into the egg wash and then onto a clean plate with about a cup of corn flour, coat the chicken and put it onto a plate.

In a large pan add a good glug of oil (roughly 1cm high) cook the chicken in batches (roughly 5-6 mins in total) and set aside on a rack.

This time will vary depending on how big you cut your chicken. Whilst you are frying the chick, using a deep pan cook the onions in a splash of oil for a couple of minutes until they start to soften.

Then add the capsicum and pineapple. By this point, the chicken should be cooked. Add the sauce to the capsicum and onions, simmer for about 1 and a half minutes until thickened, and then toss through the chicken so that it’s well coated.

Serve immediately with some steamed rice.
