INSTRUCTIONS
CHICKEN
SAUCE
Here's a TNT recipe for a type of sweet & sour chicken. It originated from
Healthy Homestyle Cooking. It's great for dieting, too. Only 400 calories,
2 grams fat, and 68mg cholesterol.
To make chicken: Preheat oven to 375°. Spray a large skillet with no-stick
spray, Heat. Coat chicken with flour. Shake off excess flour. Put chicken
in hot skillet and brown on both sides. Transfer chicken to 8"x8"x2"
roasting dish. Set aside.
To make sauce: Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice. Transfer the juice
to a 2-cup measuring cup. Add enough water to make 1 1/4 cups. In medium
sauce pan, use a wire whisk to stir together the juice mixture, sugar,
vinegar, corn starch, soy sauce, ginger, and bouillon granuals. Bring to
boil over medium heat. Slightly reduce heat and gently boil for 4 minutes,
stirring often.
Pour half the sauce mixture over the chicken. Arrange the pineapples and
pepper rings on top. Pour on the remaining sauce. Bake for 30 t0 40 minutes
or until chicken is tender and no longer pink.
Great with rice. The original recipe called for 1/2 cup cider vinegar, but
it was very strong on taste. i reduced it to 1/3, and it was a bit weak,
but good. You may want to use between 1/3 to 1/2 cup cider vinegar,
depending on your taste.
