Tangy: Sweet and Sour Chicken

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 C White Sugar
  • 1/2 C White Wine Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp gluten free Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 C Tomato Sauce (FODMAP friendly)
  • 1/2 C Chicken Stock (FODMAP friendly)
  • 500g Chicken Breast, boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped into small bites
  • 1/2 C Cornflour

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Add the white sugar, white wine vinegar, soy sauce, chicken stock, and tomato sauce to a pot. Stir and bring to a boil. Remove from heat once combined.
  2. Add the chicken to a bowl along with the whisked egg. Stir to coat the chicken in the egg.
  3. Add the cornflour to the bowl with the chicken, and stir to coat the chicken.
  4. Heat a pan to a medium heat with the coconut oil. Add the coated chicken and quickly separate them as they will be sticking together with the coating.

  6. Add the capsicum, broccoli, and pineapple to the pan. Continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through.
  7. Add the sauce from step one to the pan. Cook until slightly reduced then remove from heat.

Switch out the chicken for pork, or remove entirely for a vegetarian option.
