Hello everyone!
Today’s recipe is in spirit of the new Chinese New Year. Can you believe this is the first Asian dish I have ever made at home?! 😆 Well, having tasted this dish, I think I’m gonna try to learn more about Asian flavours and try more of them, ‘cuz this one was very tasty!
Sweet and sour is a very popular flavour in Chinese dishes and is not limited to chicken. You can make sweet and sour ribs, pork, fish and even shrimp. So, if you’re a fan of this flavour like I am, there are plenty of ways to cook with it!
My version of sweet and sour chicken is healthier than the other version, where chicken is deep fried and served with a sweet and sour sauce. What is your favourite Chinese dish by the way?
Here is the recipe! Hope you like it as much as I do 😀
Ingredients: 
1 (single) chicken breast, diced
1/4 cup diced red capsicum
1/4 cup diced green capsicum
1/2 cup pineapple pieces
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1/8 cup chicken stock
1.5 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1.5 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons corn flour
1 tablespoon light olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Method:
1. Heat oil in a pan. Then add the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and cook until browned. 
2. Add the red and green capsicum and cook for 2 minutes. 
3. Mix the rest of the ingredients , except the corn flour, in a bowl and then add to the pan with the pineapple pieces. 
4. Let simmer until the stock has just reduced. 
5. Mix the corn flour with 2 teaspoons of water in a bowl and then add to the pan. 
7. Let simmer until the sauce has thickened. 
8. Serve with steamed rice. Enjoy! ~~

Its taste must be similar to some Persian cuisines for instance; Fesenjan, Quince casserole, Aloo Bokhara casserole and so on as it is sweet and sour. So it matches to Iraninan palate. I can’t wait to try it.
Love U

Yep I think it definitely matches out palate! I must say this recipe was a bit sweeter though than Khoreshteh Beh for example, but you can always add a bit more vinegar 😀 love U, Thanks for commenting 🙂
