I did cut the recipe in half & used one 8-ounce chicken breast! Worked great for the 2 of us & we were very happy with the sweet & sour, as we both like it but don't usually fix it here at home! A keeper of a recipe, for sure, & another nice way to do up all the chicken that we eat! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Bargain Basement recipe tag]
