Sweet and Spicy Chicken


I have been craving Chinese food. We had all of the ingredients for this recipe so I tried it. It was good. It is not too spicy but I wasn't sure about giving it to Hayden. He took a bite, made a funny face and went "hot hot". Then shoved 3 more pieces in his mouth! Of course he licks the bottle of hot sauce at my sisters house so I am not sure why I was even worried.


Recipe:
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
oil (for pan-frying)
cornstarch (for dusting)

Sauce:
1 garlic clove, minced
¼ teaspoon ginger (I used ground ginger)
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ cup apple juice
⅓ cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
½ cup water
⅓ cup soy sauce

Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, and lightly dust with cornstarch. Heat oil in your wok and fry chicken bits in batches until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

In a bowl combine all sauce ingredients. Pour into wok and bring to a boil. Add chicken bits back to the pan, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve over rice with veggies.

I got the recipe from this site: here
