Made this for dinner tonight. Super low in calores, I was surprised.
Sweet and sour chicken
1lb chicken- cubed
1/2 c red bell pepper- cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 c yellow bell pepper-cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 c frozen green beans
1 can cubed/crushed pineapple (save juice)
1/2 c vinegar
1/2 c ketchup
2-3 tbls brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Brown chicken (approx 5mins), set aside.
Fry peppers and green beans for about 2 mins.
Wisk together:
vinegar
ketchup
pineapple juice (from canned pineapple)
brown sugar (start w/ 2 tbls, add third if needed to taste)
salt
Add browned chicken, pineapple and sauce to peppers and beans into pan. Simmer for 3-5 mins
Done.
I estimated 1c per serving. That was too much for me. I had 1/2 c over 1/2 c rice- ended up being under 300 cals
I used green beans because it's a veggie that my husband will eat. You can sub for just about any.
I forgot to look at nutrition specifics... sorry.
