Delicious! The vinegar, sugar, pineapple juice, and garlic combine to make a superb sweet-and-sour flavor that infuses the rice and chicken and makes your taste buds dance! I made one modification to the recipe and that is instead of 1 red and 1 yellow pepper, I used a 14 or 15 oz. jar of roasted red peppers packed in water (drained). Thank you, Ann B!

This was super quick since I added cut upbreaded chicken fingers from the freezer (to the almost cooked rice). Next time I would modify the size, since it did make a ton of rice. I think some sliced toasted almonds or chow mein noodle on top could add a nice crunch, too. Roxygirl

This was really good and simple to prepare. A really nice sweet and sour recipe that not gooey and heavy on the sauce. A keeper for sure!
