Chinese Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir Fry Recipe Restaurant Style

This is a great comforting version of Chinese sweet and sour chicken.. I fried the chicken pieces to get a nice crust, sautee lots of veggies and bring it together with a tangy rich sweet and sour sauce. Enjoy. #sweetsourchicken #chickenstirfry #chinesechicken #tesscooks4u #recipes #chinesecooking #food Chinese Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir Fry Recipe INGREDIENTS: 1 pound cubed boneless chicken breasts or thighs 1 Tbsp. light soy sauce 1/8th tsp. white pepper 1 Tbsp. cornstarch *Mix above thoroughly Add 3-4 Tbsp. flour to coat thoroughly Heat pan with oil to 350 degrees.
