Very easy to prepare! A quick and delicious supper for any time of the week! Happily, I had everything except the snowpeas, so I rummaged for green vegetables and found three small zucchini. DH sliced them into rings instead of batons, so I stuck with the 'theme', and asked him to dice the red pepper and cube the chicken. I prepared as directed, except that I didn't take the chicken out of the pan, I continued to add the other ingredients to it... in that we had cubed rather than sliced the chicken, I think it benefitted from cooking through. I served this over steamed white rice, garnished with spring onions, and we loved it - not as tart as a sweet'n'sour can sometimes be, a well-balanced dish for flavour, texture and colour.
