Sweet & Sour Chicken

Recipe courtesy of http://www.kikkoman.com/

Prep Time       15 minutes
Total Time      30 minutes
Serves  4

I stumbled on this recipe a few weeks ago while searching on-line for a sauce that another recipe called for.  It looked easy enough so I gave it a try.  It's very flavorful and came together quickly.  My husband took a second helping so I knew it was a keeper!

Shortcut - use ready made, cooked chicken to cut the prep time.  I always have Perdue Shortcuts in my fridge.

Sweet & Sour Chicken

1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon Kikkoman Soy Sauce
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch squares
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch squares
3/4 cup Kikkoman Sweet & Sour Sauce
1 can (11 oz.) mandarin orange segments, drained

Instructions

Cut chicken into 1/2-inch cubes. Combine cornstarch, soy sauce and sugar in bowl; stir in chicken. Let stand 15 minutes.

Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in same pan. Add onion and green pepper; stir-fry 3 minutes.
