How to Make Cheater Sweet And Sour Chicken
- Preheat oven according to chicken nugget package directions. Bake nuggets for half the recommended time. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add onion and green pepper; cook until crisp-tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add pineapple chunks (reserving the juice) and cook for 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low.
- In a small bowl, whisk together reserved pineapple juice and cornstarch until smooth.
- Add chicken broth, pancake syrup, vinegar, garlic powder, and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Gradually whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Continue to simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low.
- Add the partially cooked chicken nuggets to the sauce. Toss gently to coat.
- Cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through and the sauce has thickened further.
- Serve immediately over cooked rice.
