Prep Time:  20 minutes
Cook Time:  10 minutes

Yield: 6

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/2 cup sliced carrots
1/2 cup sliced peppers
1/2 cup Chinese pea pods
1/2 cup chopped onions
sweet and sour sauce (see below)
small amount of light oil for pan

*you can add any vegetables you would like -- bean sprouts, celery, water chestnuts -- this is a great meal that can be tailored to your family's personal tastes.

Sauce:

3 tbsp sugar
¼ cup vinegar
1 ½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
½ cup ketchup

Instructions

In wok or large skillet, cook chicken quickly with a small amount of light oil (1 tbsp should do at the most).  Add in vegetables and continue to cook.

*If your vegetables are cut thin, this should be a very quick process. Sometimes I add a couple of tbsp of water (to help create steam) cover, and let it sit for a couple of minutes.

Add in sweet and sour sauce (made by combining the ingredients in a small bowl) and continue to heat for a minute or so, tossing gently and continuously.

Serve over rice or alongside noodles.

We also use this same method for beef and pork stir-frys. Quick and healthy and much less money than take-out.
