Sweet and Sour Chicken

This is one of our favorite quick and easy dinners.  Derrick first made this for me back when we first started dating.  We both love Chinese - and the sweet and sour sauce makes it soooo good!  Next time we make it I'm going to try a crab ragoon recipe I got from Pinterest.

1 tablespoon oil
1 pound boneless skiness chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1 bag (16 ounces) frozen stir-fry vegetables - we leave this out and just do the pineapple
1 can (8 ounces) pineapple chunks in juice, undrained
1 can (10 1/2 ounces) chicken broth
2 cups MINUTE white or brown (or mixture) rice, uncooked
1/2 cup sweet 'n sour sauce

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add chicken.  Cook and stir until cooked through.

Add vegetables (optional) and pineapple with juice.  Mix well.  Stir in chicken broth.  Bring to a boil.

Stir in rice.  Cover and remove from heat.  Let stand 5 minutes or until almost all of the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.  Stir in sweet and sour sauce.  We drizzle a little extra on top, too.

Makes 4 servings.
