Sweet and Sour Stir Fry Chicken

Sweet and Sour Stir-Fry Chicken is a great quick and easy version of the Chinese food classic. Using pre-made sweet and sour sauce (available in the Asian section of the grocery store) makes this one a super simple dish.



Ingredients
   2 tablespoon cornstarch
12 ounces boned and skinned chicken breast, cut in 1 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
8 fresh sugar snap peas, trimmed or 9 ounces frozen snap peas
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
3/4 cup sweet and sour stir-fry sauce
Scallions, sliced for garnish


Instructions
   Put cornstarch in a plastic food bag. Add chicken and toss to coat. Heat oil in a large, preferably nonstick, skillet over med-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add chicken and stir-fry 3-4 min. until golden brown on all sides. Remove to a bowl with slotted spoon.
Add bell-pepper, snap peas and water chestnuts to drippings in skillet. Stir-fry 2-3 min. or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Pour in stir-fry sauce and return chicken to skillet. Stir to coat chicken and vegetables. Garnish with scallions.


Notes
 Variations: Omit water chestnuts and add almonds, peanuts or cashews. Add drained pineapple chunks. Add 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper.
