Easy Sweet and Sour Chicken
This easy homemade Sweet and Sour Chicken recipe is a fantastic substitute for any Chinese restaurant version. The chicken is sautéed instead of fried in batter, so it's a little healthier, too. And in about the time it takes to have it delivered, you could already be eating!
