Sweet and Sour Chicken

My Stepmom gave me this recipe a few years ago and it is so good and so simple that we probably have it once a month for dinner. Only Jonathan complains because of the fruit and veggies that are in the recipe.

1 T oil
1 or 2 minced garlic cloves
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1" pieces
1 C red and green peppers or whatever color you have
2 T cornstarch
1/4 C soy sauce
1 can chunk pineapple in juice
3 T vinegar
3 T brown sugar
1/2 t ginger

Heat oil and cook garlic until fragrant, 1 min or so. Throw in chicken and cook until done. Then throw in peppers and cook until crisp tender, 1 or 2 mins. Push to side of pan.

Mix cornstarch, soy sauce, pineapple juice, vinegar, sugar, and ginger. Pour into empty side of pan and cook until thickened and clear. Stir in chicken and peppers and add pineapple. Heat through. Serve over white rice.
