There’s something about a sweet-and-savory chicken dinner over a bowl of hot rice that makes you stop scrolling.
This Easy Sweet and Sour Chicken is made with tender pieces of chicken coated in a glossy sauce that’s tangy, slightly sweet, and full of flavor. Served over warm steamed rice, it turns a few simple ingredients into the kind of dinner everyone reaches for seconds of.
Cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, then stir together pineapple juice, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce for the sauce. Pour it into the skillet and let everything simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken. Add bell peppers and pineapple if you like, then spoon it generously over steamed rice.
No takeout box. No complicated prep. Just a warm, saucy chicken dinner that comes together easily at home.
If your family loves sweet and sour chicken, this is the kind of easy meal that disappears fast.
