Betty says
My husband and I loved the flavor of this dish and would encourage everyone to try it. This is definitely going into our rotation of meals, I used whole chicken breasts and orange red and green peppers, onions. Next time I’m going to try thighs. Thanks for a great recipe.
Heidi says
You’re very welcome, Betty… I’m so glad to hear you and your husband enjoyed this easy dinner! I think the thighs would taste delicious, too! 🙂
Stacey B says
I am making this today but I wondering why the juice needs to be drained? Will it alter the taste that much?
Heidi says
Hi Stacey ~ yes, it really does make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce. Without draining the juices, the sauce will be thiner, runnier, and less flavorful. When you drain the juices you’ll end up with a thick sauce with a more robust flavor. Hope that helps! 🙂
Whitney says
I have been making this for awhile now and really like this recipe, curious if anyone knows how to convert it to the instant pot?! Thanks
Patricia Aiello says
I have used so many of these recipies! and My whole family loves them! Thank you!… Seriously!.. BTW most of these are family staples now! <3

Jennifer says
I am in the process of making this recipe now! I will let you know of the results later. But I am curious, do I need to season the chicken or is the sauce enough for taste?
Bobbie says
Love this! It was fast and easy. I to cut the chicken before cooking and it turned out perfect.
Heidi says
So glad you loved it, Bobbie! It’s definitely a family favorite here, too! 😉
Joy says
Can the sweet and sour chicken recipe be doubled?
Bobbie says
Yes I doubled it and it turned out wonderful
Joy says
Thank you! My family loves this recipe . Going to try cutting chicken before cooking also.
Rochelle says
I am tryin this tonight i have tried several other of ur recipes and they are always a winner with my picky kids!
Heidi says
Aww ~ thanks, Rochelle! So glad your kids are enjoying the recipes, too! 🙂
Joseph says
Would it be different if I cubed the chicken beforehand, and what would it take to make this a freezer meal?
Steven says
I would also like to know if the chicken can be cubed at the beginning of cooking everything.
Tonya says
I accidentally cut the chicken prior to cooking and it turned out fine. I’m glad I did, too. The chicken was pretty tender and cutting it might have torn it apart (shredding).
Jean says
