"This is surprisingly pretty good for just a couple of ingredients, it's a easy basic recipe that is geared toward newbie cooks (like me!) it's good served over cooked rice. You could jazzy it up with a bell pepper and sliced carrots. I don't like chicken breast it's to dry so I used thighs but you could use chicken breast if you want to"

A very tasty sweet and sour which the DH and I really enjoyed though to me it is not sweet and sour without capsicum and carrot so I added them to the sauce in the thickening stage so they would get some cooking but still remain crisp. Thank you Under15Cook for a quick and easy recipe, made for Pick Me tag game under the 48 hour rule.
