Sweet and Sour Chicken

I made this for dinner tonight. Its always a big hit in my house so I thought I'd share.

2 chicken breasts, 1 T oil, 2 Carrots sliced, 1 glove garlic minced, 1 C sugar, 4 T cornstarch, 1 1/3 C water, 3 T oil, 2/3 C vinegar, 4 T soy sauce, 1 onion-chunked, 1/2 red pepper-chunked, 1/2 green pepper-chunked, 1 small can pineapple chunks-drained.

Cut chicken in 1 inch cubes. Saute in oil with carrot and garlic until no longer pink. Remove from heat. combine sugar and cornstarch in saucepan. stir in water. Add oil, vinegar and soy sauce. Cook and stir until thick and has turned a darker color. Add chicken, vegetables and pineapple. Serve with steamed rice.

If you are planning freezer meals this recipe is a good one.
