Blue Ribbon Recipe

Easy to make, this pineapple sweet and sour chicken uses simple ingredients and tastes delicious. Pineapple adds a burst of sweetness. The sauce adds tang and coats the tender and juicy chicken breast pieces. Onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms add color and crunch. Try adding other vegetables to suit your liking. Broccoli and snow peas would be good. This sweet and sour chicken is a winner.
