Provided by Jen

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound chicken breasts (pounded thin, cut into 1" pieces)
Vegetable oil
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 tsp EACH ground ginger, garlic powder
2 eggs
1/2 cup Asian sweet chili sauce (like Mae Ploy)
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1-3 teaspoons Asian chili sauce (like Sambal Oelek)
1 tablespoon vegetable/olive oil
1 red bell pepper (chopped into 1" pieces)
1/2 small white onion (chopped into 1" pieces)
1 1 /2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 1/2 cups pineapple (cut into 1" cubes (may sub canned))
4 oz. Snow peas (ends trimmed (optional))

Steps:

  • Add flour, cornstarch, salt, ginger, garlic powder to a large freezer bag (or large bowl). Add eggs to a separate large freezer bag (or bowl). Add chicken to flour mixture, toss until well coated. Remove chicken, letting excess flour drip off, and add to egg bag and massage until evenly coated. Remove chicken, letting excess egg drip off and return to flour bag. Shake once more until evenly coated.
  • Add enough vegetable oil to evenly coat the bottom of a large skillet. Heat over medium high heat until very hot. Add half of the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Whisk together all of the Sweet Fire Sauce ingredients. Set aside.
  • Wipe out now empty skillet. Heat one tablespoon oil over medium high heat. Add onions and red bell peppers and stir fry 2 minutes or until onions begin to soften.
  • Add garlic and ginger and cook 30 seconds. Stir in pineapple, snow peas and Sweet Fire Sauce and cook 1 minute. Stir in chicken until evenly coated and heated through. Taste and add Chili Sauce for spicier or sugar for sweeter. Serve immediately with rice or zoodles.

Love the Sweet Fire but don't wanna pay the price?? Make this recipe! It's not too hard and not too expensive, but it tastes amazing! Here's a tip: Freeze the chicken slightly before cutting it into strips. This helps it to hold up a bit better under the knife. =)

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 cup cornstarch (more may be needed)
1 cup flour (more may be needed)
3 eggs, beaten well
vegetable oil (for frying, or oil of your choice)
2 red jalapenos, chopped fine (you can adjust the amount according to your heat preference)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

Steps:

  • For the chicken, dip strips in flour. I usually do this by putting the chicken strips in a big zip-top bag with the flour in it, and shake until all of the chicken pieces are evenly covered with flour. Next, drop the chicken strips in the beaten egg. Again, I do this all at once. Just make sure the egg is in a big bowl, dump all of the chicken strips in, and evenly coat. Lastly, dip in cornstarch. This time the process is a little more precise, so I take about one-third of the strips and toss them in a zip-top bag with cornstarch. Lay them on a wire rack to prep for frying, and repeat the process. This method is pretty messy, and if you have another way of doing it, feel free to do it! =).
  • In a large skillet, heat oil to medium-high heat. Carefully lay chicken strips into the oil. Be careful to not crowd the pan. Fry the strips for about 1 minute, and then flip them over. Once they are evenly goldish-brown, and appear to be crispy, remove them from the oil and lay on a wire cooling rack lined with paper towels to allow the excess oil to drain off of them. Set aside and make the sauce.
  • For the sauce, combine all ingredients, except for cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of water, in a food processor. Blend until the ingredients are well combined, and garlic and jalapeño is finely minced into the liquid. Next, place the mixture into a medium saucepan, and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Combine the cornstarch and water in a separate container to form a thick paste. Incorporate paste into the simmering sauce. Whisk together, until the sauce starts to thicken slightly. Remove from heat, and toss in pineapple chunks (or use fresh pineapple if you prefer it).
  • In a large skillet, heat the sauce to a simmering, and add the fried chicken strips. Simmer for about five minutes, or until all of the chicken strips are well coated and reheated (if they were set aside to cool for a long time). Serve over white rice, or by itself. However you prefer! Enjoy! =).
