Low-Fat Sweet and Sour Chicken: A Volumetric Diet-Friendly Recipe

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This was an excellent recipe! I usually don't eat sweet and sour chicken at Chinese places because it is often deep fried so this recipe is very welcome and will be made again. It tastes very much like what you get in Chinese places here with sweet and sour without all grease from the chicken. It was also quick and very easy to make, which is a big plus. The only thing that I changed was sugar instead of Splenda because they didn't have it at my supermarket. I'll have a look at the big supermarket to see if they have it for the next time that I make it to keep the calories down. Made for PAC March '09.

    Sweet and Sour Chicken (Low Fat and Volumetric), I’ve been using this sweet and sour sauce for years. It came from the recipe booklet included with my first wok. In the past it was always served with home made deep fried chicken balls. I’ve modified my recipe to make it Volumetric with all the great taste of the original tangy sauce! It is also quick to prepare, making it a great mid-week meal., This was an excellent recipe!
