This was really good! My husband and sons rated this better than any of the other sweet and sour chicken recipes that I have tried from this site (I have tried a few)! The only change I made was to double the sauce, I’m glad that I did and to add pineapple marmalade and homemade (soy and gluten free) soy sauce to the sauce. My daughter is soy, gluten and dairy free so it was nice to find a meal that we could all share together with great flavor! That fact alone made it even better when my husband said it was better than the other ones we had tried, the ones using white flour!

This was a REALLY good sweet N sour recipe. 4.5 MITTS!

I did not have rice flour, so I had to use all purpose instead and it turned out just fine. The sauce makes plenty, as I used 4 chicken breasts instead of 3, and still had plenty of sauce. I also used one whole red and green bell pepper, which I thought was necessary since I added an additional chicken breast.

The second time I made it I marinated my chicken cubes in a little garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar mixture for about 30 minutes, which brought the “missing piece” flavor I was looking for.

Thank you for this great recipe!

I’d give this 4.5 mitts if I could. It’s a good recipe, but somehow missing a little ‘something’ to take it to excellent. We all enjoyed it and I will make it again with the addition of soy sauce in the sauce. Maybe that will be the missing touch. I do recommend actually using less flour (I used all purpose instead of rice flour) and less cornstarch. There was a lot of waste of that, really needed only half the flour and cornstarch. The amount of sauce actually was perfect, and did not need to add cornstarch to it, just cooked it about 15- 20 minutes and it was the perfect thickness.

Amazing…the only thing I changed is that I doubled the recipe. I served it with white rice. Great meal!

Made this recipe last night. My husband raved about it! One guest we had over said it was, “heaven in my mouth”.

Needless to say it was a winner! Leftovers today for lunch= a great day!

I’ve made this about 4 times now… always delicious. I don’t have rice flour, so I have used regular flour or cornstarch. I don’t even bother to order this at a restaurant anymore, since I know I can make a great version. thanks!

I tried this recipe tonight, and LOVED it! I did tweak a few things after sampling the sauce, just to suit my taste – I added a tsp of light soy sauce and about 1/3 cup of orange marmalade I had in the fridge. I also doubled the recipe for the sauce, and ended up adding a little cornstarch to thicken it. My husband and I ate until we were absolutely stuffed. It was easy to make, we had all the ingredients on hand, and it was simply delicious. Like lick your plate clean delicious! Thanks, Rox. This is a winner.

I made this tonight and it was delicious. My husband loved it, too, so that was a bonus. I had a bag of frozen stir fry veggies in the freezer, so I used that instead of the peppers and onions. I also put a dash of soy sauce in the sauce. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
