Sweet and Sour Chicken


I adapted this recipe from the October Woman's Day. There is a varity of sauces to make stir fry in this month's issue.


Sweet and Sour Sauce
1/2 c apricot preserves
1/4 c ketchup
2 T cider vinegar
1 garlic clove minced
I put this in the blender to get the apricot preserves chopped up well.

Take about 1 pound of chicken chunks put in a Ziploc bag and add 2 T cornstarch. Shake to coat. heat 1 T oil in a skillet. Add chicken and cook until chicken is fully cooked. Add sauce and cook until heated through. Serve over rice

I served the leftover green beans from yesterday's meal with this.

Verdict:
The kids really liked this. They even ate a little more chicken before bed. I thought I could taste the cornstarch. I think next time I will leave out the cornstarch. It was very easy and quick to make.
