Kids will love this red sauce that deliciously coats the chicken. Serve with Gingered Sugar Snap Peas and steamed rice.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 sweet red pepper or yellow pepper, cubed
- 3/4 cup chicken stock
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 green onion, chopped
Preparation
In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken all over. Remove to plate. Drain off fat in pan; reduce heat to medium. Fry onion, garlic and red pepper, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 4 minutes.
In small bowl, whisk together stock, ketchup, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, salt and pepper; add to pan. Return chicken and any juices to pan and bring to boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 6 minutes.
In small bowl, whisk cornstarch with 1/4 cup (50 mL) water; add to pan and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with green onion.
