Simple Sweet & Sour Chicken
"This is a recipe I found here on Zaar, and altered it a little to make it more like the one we used to have growing up. It's delicious served with rice, or udon noodles! I buy the pineapple pieces, and cut them in half, it's much nicer with the smaller pieces."

Made for Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #25. This was very good and oh, so easy. The only thing that I did different was to reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup and it was plenty sweet. We enjoyed this and I will make it again. Thanks for posting this Sara! -
This recipe makes for a very tasty chicken dish, & it's something I'd make again! However, the directions are sketchy at best! I used 6 skinless chicken breasts & cut them into bite-sized pieces before browning them in the olive oil until almost done! Then, after getting to step #3, I added all the OTHER ingredients to the crock pot, & stirred to blend them together before adding the chicken! I had the crock pot on high for an hour then turned it down to low for another 1 1/2 hours! Served it all over rice for a very nice meal!

Well..about me! I'm married, I have 2 kids (both boys), and I live in Australia.
I have loved cooking for as long as I can remember, and have become completely addicted to browsing through Zaar looking for new recipes!
I have a small animal shelter for rabbits and guinea pigs, and spend most of my time looking after kids or critters!.
My favourite cookbooks are The Essential Pasta Cookbook, The Central Cookery Book, Flo Bjielkie-Peterson's Country Cookbook, and Greek Cooking (I bought that one in Greece, and it's FANTASTIC). At the minute, we are getting ready to move, which is forcing me to sort through my recipe cabinet. I have been trying out all those recipes that are scribbled on pieces of paper, or torn from magazines, so I can decide ifthey are keepers or not. So far I've found a lot of keepers, and will work at posting them on here.
I'm passionate about a lot of things, mainly my kids, animals, and cooking.
I won't even start on my peeves, we'll be here all night! lol
