Sweet and Sour Chicken
Classic sweet & sour flavoured chicken served with rice or veggies.
Serving: 4
Ingredients
FOR THE CHICKEN
- 600 g boneless skinless chicken(cut into 1-inch chunks) (I used chicken legs & cut off the flesh from the bone, use whatever chicken you want).
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 cup plain flour
- 2 - 3eggs (slightly beaten)
- ¼ cup olive
- ½-1 cup frozen peas
- ½-1 cup frozen corn
- ½ each of red & green capsicum sliced into slivers
- 1 brown onion sliced into slivers
- 3-4 schallot stems chopped
- 1 carrot chopped into strips
FOR THE SAUCE
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ cup tomato sauce
- ½ cup rice vinegar or white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 3-4 cloves of fresh garlic chopped fine
Instructions
- Season chicken with salt and pepper.
- Place the cornstarch in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Place the eggs in a separate shallow bowl. Working in two batches, toss the chicken pieces in cornstarch and then coat with the egg.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Again working in two batches, brown the chicken, turning it so that all sides are browned. Then brown up the sliced onion.
- Place the chicken & onion & other vegetables in the slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients and pour evenly over the chicken. Turn the chicken to ensure each piece is coated.
- Place chicken in. Pour the sauce over the chicken and stir to coat.
- Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours
Notes
- You can substitute white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
- You can also use pineapple juice for a different flavour!
- You can add chunks of pineapple to the chicken mixture in the pan before cooking for even more flavour.
- You can serve with steamed rice, cauliflower rice, or fried rice, along with steamed or stir-fried vegetables (broccoli, carrots, snow peas, etc.).

Tried this one last night and it is delicious! I used breast and the chicken was so soft. This is now a regular, would definitely recommend it
