Funny thing! I don’t like pineapple in meat dishes. Hubby LOVES it so I made this one just for him. He really enjoyed it. His only comment was that he felt it needed some kind of spice to offset the sweetness. Something like cayenne. This was really easy to make. Honestly, this was the best sweet ‘n sour sauce I’ve ever made. The only can of pineapple chunks I had on the shelf were in heavy syrup. I was afraid to add the full amount of sugar so I only added 1/4c. It was perfect! The only other thing I did different was fry the chicken in butter instead of vegetable oil. Did not add the optional water chestnuts as hubby is not a fan. It made such a beautiful and colorful dish. Hubby said I can make this for him anytime.

Amazing picture DIZ! My daughter doesn't care for fruit in savory dishes, but I make them anyway and she just picks around them lol. I would totally eat a big plate of this, yummy!!

Gorgeous photo Diz!!
I love pineapple sweet n' sour sauce!! My favorite Chinese place makes the best pineapple sauce to go over chicken, I could drink the stuff! ;) And I'm not one to eat fruit with meat, I don't like pineapple on pizza for example but I love pineapple sweet n' sour sauce! Great recipe find, I'm going to have to try this and compare it to my favorite! :)
(I'm also making a pineapple sweet n sour sauce for a pork stir fry tonight. It looks very close to this one too! ;)

Thank you, Mommyluvs2cook! I'm just like your daughter.

Thank you, Cosmicmother! We are exactly alike. There is just something about eating a hot piece of pineapple that I don't like.

Thank you, LindaLMT!
