Speedy Sweet and Sour Chicken

This is a recipe from the days when my kids (4 children) were young, picky eaters (this dissipated when they became teens!). It's an awesome, easy to make dish that all 4 of my kids loved. It was rare for me to find such a dish, so I thought I should share this with other busy Moms (& Dads).

It's easiest/best to make in a large non-stick wok, & the ingredients are pretty basic. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether or not Green Giant still makes the Create a Meal kit I used in this recipe years ago, so you may need to improvise.

Ingredients:

  • 2 t oil (Peanut or Olive preferred)

  • 1 10.5 oz pkg Chicken Chunks or Nuggets(Tyson preferred - fun shapes for extra kiddy appeal)

  • 1 pkg Green Giant Create a Meal! frozen Sweet & Sour Stir Fry Meal Starter

  • 2-3 cups hot cooked rice (best results from rice steamer if you have one)

  • ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Cook rice while preparing rest of recipe.

    Cook chicken chunks in oil until thoroughly heated through. Remove from wok or skillet. Place on paper towel to drain any excessive oil.

    Add frozen sauce, vegetables, and pineapple to wok or skillet.

    Cook, stirring frequently, for 7-10 minutes or until veggies are crisp-tender.

    Stir in the Chicken Chunks.

    Serve over rice.
