I have been making this recipe since the 70's when Betty Crocker published it. It is a family favorite. I use boneless skinless chicken breasts cut up into pieces or I use chicken tenders. I also substitute red or yellow pepper for green. I use crushed pineapple if that is what I have on hand and sometimes if I make a large amount I use crushed and chunked pineapple together. I don't use bouillion cubes but I do use a tsp. of chicken base. Served over white or brown rice and you have homemade sweet and sour chicken good enough for company.

Made this for dinner last night. DD's liked it but didn't want seconds. DS loved it and even had thirds. I ate til I was nearly ashamed of myself and DH had thirds also. I had some of the sauce leftover and will eat it with rice today. I used unsweetened pineapple and Dh thought that they were a little too tart but I thought it was perfect!!Used boneless chicken that I cut into strips and instead of baking in oven I poured sauce over the browned chicken,turned on med.low and simmered about 20 minutes! Will make often!
