This is one of my favorite Chinese food dishes and I used to buy the sweet & sour sauce, but this time I made everything from scratch.
I used about 1-2lbs of boneless-skinless chicken cut into chunks. I cooked the chicken with a little bit of vegetable oil, then added about a teaspoon of minced garlic. Then added a small whole onion chopped up. Cook until browned or a little mushy (onions).
Next, I added 3 green bell peppers chopped up in squares. I let the chicken with garlic, onions, and bell peppers cook for awhile while making the sweet and sour sauce
After you add the sauce to the chicken and veggie mixture add a can of chunk pineapple (drain the juice out first). Mix all together and let simmer for as long as you would like.
Serve over warm rice! It was yummy! I liked it better then buying the sauce :)

Making the sauce:

1/3 cup white vinegar
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Place sugar, vinegar, water, soy sauce, ketchup, and cornstarch in saucepan and heat. Bring to a boil and stir continuously until thickened.
