Sweet and Sour Chicken

Recipe originally from Taste & Tell by way of Skylar. Legend has it that this is the only thing she can eat without triggering an allergic reaction.

Chefs say: "I'm talking so yummy I’ve had this recipe saved since sophomore year of high school when I took my around the world cooking class".

Modifications

  • I suspect this would be good if you replaced the chicken breasts with chicken thighs. I will report back if I try this.
