Thanks for posting. As a newlywed, this was the first recipe I used. My husband loved it. I lost the beat up magazine page years ago. I happened to mention it to my daughter who really wants to try her hand at it. I think I'm going to make some for my husband to see if it still appeals to him after 35 years of marriage. :)

I am SO glad u posted this! I hand copied this recipe years ago on a smal piece of paper (at least 15 years ago!) from a mag also, and the paper was getting old and ripped and stained, so I thought I would check to see if it was somewhere online, and I found it ! It is one of my Hubby's absolute favorites! I am making it for Valentines Day dinner tomorrow! The only thing I do different is add some chunked pieces of onion along with the green pepper. Delicious home-made sweet and sour chicken!!
