Quick & Easy Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• 3 celery ribs, sliced
• 2 green bell peppers, diced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 0.5 cup lemon juice
• 0.5 cup crushed pineapple with syrup
• 0.33 cup packed brown sugar

Instructions

1. In a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside on a plate.
3. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add celery, bell peppers, and onion; cook and stir for around 5 minutes, until vegetables are slightly softened.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together ketchup, lemon juice, pineapple with syrup, and brown sugar until well combined.
5. Add the chicken back to the skillet, pour in the pineapple mixture, and bring to a boil. Cook and stir for about 2 to 3 minutes, until heated through.
