Answer 2

2 chicken breasts
1 green (bell) pepper
1/2 of a sweet onion (All cut into bite size pieces).
1 cup pineapple chunks
Some recipes call for sweet pickles.



3/4 Cup corn starch
1/4 - 1/2 Cup water (mix together, you want something between a paste and a liquid).

Toss the chicken in the cornstarch mixture, then deep fry.

I have made my own sauce, but frankly I prefer LaChoy or Chun King.

While chicken is cooking (to a golden brown) saute' pepper and onion lightly (you want a bit of crunch to the pepper).

When chicken is done drain and toss with onion, pepper, pineapple and pour sauce over all.

Serve over steamed white rice.

Sauteed snow peas go nicely with this. And perhaps some shrimp toast as an appetiser.
