"This version of the Asian-style favorite includes carrots, bell pepper, garlic and pineapple. The requisite soy sauce and vinegar add the sour to the sweet, and voila! Serve over hot cooked rice, if desired."

This recipe deserves 5 stars and I'd give more if I could. My pickiest son even loved this. I took others suggestions and doubled the sauce and got a 20 ounce can crushed pineapple and kept the soy sauce the same at 1/4 cup. I also added a heaping tablespoon of ketchup to give it that reddish color you see at restaurants. This was restaurant caliber and I'm adding it to my recipe box to make again and again in the future!

I also modified the recipe somewhat by taking out 1/2 the soy sauce, and adding some ketchup, more pineapple juice, and a little more ginger. My rice isn't quite ready yet, and I'm afraid we'll have eaten all the pork (oh yeah, I also used pork loin instead of chicken......melt in your mouth!!) by the time it's done!!

This was great - I followed someone else's review and used a larger can of pinapple for the extra juice. Next time, I would probably use tidbits instead of pinapple chunks. Totally try it!

My husband said it was the best sweet and sour chicken he ever had. He bragged about it to his buddies at work! I used Double the ingrdiants on the sauce except the teriaki sauce. Added some ketchup. Plus I used a 20oz can of pineapple chunks and made extra chicken. topped chicken over wild grain rice. This came out awesome. I will be making this dish often! THANKS for sharing!

I followed this recipe exactly as posted and boy was it good! I love making stirfrys and I have been looking for a good sweet and sour chicken one and am so glad that I finally found it. We gobbled this one down, I will make it again very soon. Thank you so much!

We really enjoyed this recipe. I liked it because you didn't bread the chicken, which means fewer calories. I did add ketchup to the sauce and also doubled the sauce. The next time I make it I will season the chicken while cooking, we thought the chicken was tasteless.

It was just OK. My 4 year old didn't like it and ate a pear instead. My hubby ate two helpings though. I don't know if there was too much soy sauce for the recipe or what, but it just didn't do it for us. I much prefer Lana's S S meatball sauce so next time I will use that. Thank you though!

This was okay...the sauce was not as flavorful as my usual sweet n sour. I also added onions, which I think imparted more flavor than it would have had otherwise. Not a keeper for me.
