Paleo Sweet and Sour Chicken

We had baked veggie egg rolls, brown rice, cashew chicken stir fry, and this Paleo sweet and sour chicken for dinner tonight. I found this recipe on Pinterest, and it comes from the A Saucy Kitchen blog, https://www.asaucykitchen.com/sweet-and-sour-chicken-paleo-low-fodmap/

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup vinegar (apple cider vinegar)

2 Tbsp coconut aminos

1/4 cup ketchup

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast cut into 1" cubes

1 large egg, beaten

1/2 cup arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)

1/4 cup coconut oil

1 red pepper, cut into chunks

1 cup pineapple chunks

3 scallions/green onions, sliced, green parts only

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, mix together sugar, vinegar, coconut aminos, and ketchup. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer. 

In a large plastic storage/freezer bag, mix together chicken and beaten egg. Add arrowroot powder and shake bag to coat chicken chunks. Heat coconut oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and fry 4-8 minutes. Add red pepper and pineapple chunks and continue to sauté until chicken is browned and cooked. Add the sauce, cover, reduce heat, and simmer a few minutes. 

Pour into serving bowl/dish and top with scallions.
