Clean Sweet & Sour Chicken

I absolutely love Asian food; however, the extreme levels of sodium and nitrites leave my stomach in not so six-pack condition. This is meal great and can be prepped ahead of time to cut down on time.



Ingredients:

•  1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 tablespoon raw honey
• 2 tablespoon Ideal Sugar
• 2 minced gloves
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 4 large chicken breast (chopped in pieces)
• 1 large red pepper
• 2 green peppers
• 1/4 onion
• 1/4 chopped/minced cilantro
• 1 cup chopped pineapple or 1 can of pineapple ( all natural in fruit juice made with splenda)
• Brown rice (optional)

Directions:

 In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, honey, sugar, garlic, cayenne pepper, ginger, and pepper flakes. Next, place the chicken in large zip lock bag, and pour soy sauce mixture over chicken. Squeeze the bag and until all pieces of chicken are covered. Refrigerate for at least an hour. I usually marinate the chicken over night.

Spray the large skillet with Pam Spray. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and saute the meat until cooked thoroughly.  Add the red and green peppers, and onions to the meat mixture . Continue to saute until the vegetables are tender. Next, add the pineapple chunks and the minced cilantro to the mixture. This dish is superb served over brown rice.
