Sweet and Sour Chicken

This has quickly become a FAMILY FAVOURITE! It gets 10 thumbs up, and I think it would get more if we had more thumbs!

This is just delicious on it's own, over rice, or leave out the passata and add a mess of stir fry veggies!  No matter how you serve it, it's a winner.

And it's FREE on Extra Easy!

serves 4 (but easily serves our 2 adults and 3 children)
take about 15 minutes to prepare, plus 30 mins of marinating time



SWEET N' SOUR CHICKEN

6 chicken breasts, skinned and cut into chunky pieces
6 spring onions, sliced
2 garlic cloves, chopped or pressed
salt & pepper
3 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp artificial sweetener (we use splenda)
2 tbsp raspberry vinegar
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder (available in most grocery stores)
100ml (3 1/2 oz) passata

1.  marinate chicken in a mixture of spring onions, garlic, salt, pepper and soy sauce for 30 minutes.

2.  Spray skillet with fry light, and place over high heat.  Add chicken and marinate mixture, and cook for 6 minutes.

3.  Add remaining ingredients, and bring mixture to a boil.  Reduce heat and cook for 4 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through)

To make as a stir fry, omit the passata, and add stir fry vegtables after step 3.  (stir fry veggies only take a couple of minutes to cook, generally)

Serve on rice, or on a jacket potato!
