Sweet and Sour Chicken
I?ve enjoyed making coconut chicken from Thermomix?s Budget Busters cookbook, and the fast chicken curry recipe from the Everyday Cooking recipe book always works out well. But I wanted to make a chicken meal without coconut milk. I remembered a sweet and sour pork recipe from the Woman?s Day ?Cooking for Slimmers? cookbook and adapted the coconut chicken recipe to work with these new ingredients. The key difference I noted about the sweet and sour recipe was that no corn flour was used to thicken the sauce which suited me as I?ve always enjoyed the consistency of the meal. There are a few differences between the pork recipe and my chicken version. While I would have preferred to use a freshly cut pineapple, I took the easy option of a small can of pineapple pieces. A roma tomato supplemented the quarter piece of capsicum that I had. The resulting meal with some brown rice was yummy and will certainly be on the menu again.
