Ingredients
5 oz white rice
1 red onion
4 oz pineapple cup
2 (1½ oz) cornstarch
2 oz sweet & sour sauce Soy
10 oz pkg chicken breast strips
How to make it
1
Cook rice. In a small saucepan, combine rice and 1¼ cups water; bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and cook over low heat until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 17-20 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
2
Prep ingredients. Cut half of the onion (save rest for own use) into 1-inch pieces. Drain pineapple juice into a medium bowl; keep pineapple pieces separate. To bowl with juice, whisk in 1½ teaspoons cornstarch until dissolved. Stir in sweet and sour sauce, ¼ cup water, 1 tablespoon each of vinegar and sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
3
Shallow fry chicken. Pat chicken dry; season with salt and pepper. Place remaining cornstarch into a large resealable bag. Add chicken and shake well to evenly coat; transfer to a plate. In a medium skillet, heat ¼-inch oil over medium-high until shimmering. Add chicken in a single layer; cook, flipping occasionally, until crisp and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
4
Cook sauce. Discard all but 1 tablespoon oil from skillet; place over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 1 minute. Stir sweet and sour sauce mixture to redissolve cornstarch and add to skillet. Cook until sauce is bubbling and thickened, about 1 minute.
5
Finish & serve. Stir chicken and pineapple into skillet with sauce until warmed through; season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve sweet and sour chicken with rice. Enjoy!

How to: Shallow fry!. We have some quick tricks for the perfect crunch. Make sure your oil is hot: it should reach 350°F with an oil thermometer. If you drop a pinch of flour into the oil, it should sizzle vigorously. When working in batches, always make sure your oil comes back up to temperature in between (if it's browning too quickly, reduce the heat). If too low, the chicken will turn out oily instead of crispy.
