Savory Sweet and Sour Chicken

Okay, girlies, so my digital camera is broken and I couldn't figure out how to insert a borrowed photo of this one, so you will either have to take my word on how great it looks AND tastes, or log onto allrecipes.com and check out "Sweet and Sour Chicken III." It was just what I was craving today and it was so easy to make!

Ingredients:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast meat cubed (I used 3 big Costco chicken breasts)
2 TBS vegetable oil (I actually just used non-stick cooking spray and it was fine...)
1/2 cup sliced green bell pepper
1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper
1 cup carrot strips
1 clove garlic, minced
1 TBS cornstarch
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 (8 oz) can pineapple chunks, juice reserved
1 TBS vinegar
1 TBS brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground giner

Directions:
Brown chick in oil (or cooking spray) over medium high heat. Add peppers, carrot, and garlic and stir fry for a couple of minutes. I actually diced my peppers and carrots and liked eating them better this way...Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cornstarch and soy sauce and mix together; pour this mixture over the vegetables and meat in skillet and add pineapple with juice, vinegar, sugar, and ginger. Stir together and bring to a full boil. Ta-da! You're done! Serve it up over rice (we used brown rice, and it was mmmm, mmm, good!). Hope you try and enjoy it!
