Quick & Easy Takeout Favorite: Sweet + Sour Chicken
posted on
We love simple MYO Takeout mealstheyre healthier and you know everything thats in the dish. This quick and easy Sweet + Sour Chicken recipe is perfect for a busy weeknight!
Ive been on Chinese takeout probation for quite some time now. What does that mean? Ricky refuses to let me order anything because I always take 3 bites and decide I dislike it. To be fair, we havent found a decent Chinese restaurant in our area yet. I cannot stand soy soaked fried rice or dishes packed with veggies and 2 pieces of meat. Okay, Im picky.
Making our own takeout saves money and its much healthier. I like to add a few favorites to our meal plan a couple times a month: fried rice, stir fry and orange chicken are top of our list. To keep the takeout feel, I serve with frozen egg rolls or potstickers. Heads up: the frozen chicken potstickers from Costco are SO GOOD.
Restaurant Sweet + Sour Chicken tends to have deep fried chicken breasts with a crazy orange sauce. This variety is a bit different, but just as tasty. I take a little help from the store with the Kikkoman sauce, mixed with fresh veggies and pineapple. When youre buying store bought sauce, be sure to check the sugar and sodium levels. This one passes the test!
