Sweet and Sour Chicken

This is one of Rob's favorite dinners. I try not to make it too often because it is so HEALTHY! But it is delicious!

4 chicken breasts
1/2 green pepper in big chunks
1/2 onion in big chunks
1 or 2 eggs
1 can pineapple tidbits

Cut chicken into bite size pieces and marinate for 2 hours in:
1 tbs. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. accent
1 tsp. salt
1 clove garlic chopped

Stir and cover chicken in marinade. After chicken is marinated in above sauce, break eggs into chicken. Add enough cornstarch to make batter sticky. Fry in oil until brown.

Triple Sauce:
2 tsp. soy sauce
2 tbs. cornstarch
8 tbs. sugar
6 tbs. vinegar
4 tbs. ketchup
1 c. juice from pineapple plus water if needed to make 1 c.

Cook until thick. Saute onions and green pepper; add to sauce. Add pineapple and chicken last. Serve immediately over rice.

*I tried to find accent and couldn't find it so I made it without it and it is still yummy. Serve this with some Edamame from Costco and you feel like your eating at Pei Wei.
