Lighter Sweet and Sour Chicken

Forget take-out and make this Lighter Sweet and Sour Chicken that only takes 30 minutes to prepare, is packed full…

Lighter Sweet and Sour Chicken

I love getting take-out Asian food, especially Sweet and Sour Chicken but I know that it isn’t always the healthiest option and can be packed with sodium, fat and lots of calories. That is why creating your favorite take-out, like today’s Lighter Sweet and Sour Chicken, at home is a great option because not only is it homemade meaning you control the ingredients including the sodium, but you save money. That is a win-win, right?

Lighter Sweet and Sour Chicken comes together in 30 minutes and uses fresh vegetables, pineapple, chicken and a homemade sweet and sour sauce. That sauce is one of my favorite parts of the dish. I love the sweet and sour flavors mixed with the crunchy vegetables, tender chicken and the sweet pineapple.

A lot of my readers have mentioned wanting more easy weeknight meal recipes and I couldn’t agree more. Lately my life has been really busy and finding time to cook elaborate meals just isn’t happening. With today’s Lighter Sweet and Sour Chicken you can save yourself even more time by prepping your ingredients ahead of time.
