Picante Sweet & Sour Chicken

Picante sauce, pineapple and soy sauce combine to add a unique and delicious burst of flavor to this quick-cooking stir-fry.

Directions

Cook the rice according to the package directions.  While the rice is cooking, drain the pineapple, reserving the juice.

Stir the cornstarch, pineapple juice and soy sauce in a small bowl with a fork until the mixture is smooth.

Season the chicken as desired.  Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until well browned, stirring often. Remove the chicken from the skillet.

Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Add the peppers and cook until tender-crisp. Stir the picante sauce, pineapple and cornstarch mixture in the skillet. Cook and stir until the mixture boils and thickens. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook until the chicken is cooked through. Season to taste.  Serve the chicken and sauce over the hot cooked rice.
