Description

This chicken in sweet and sour sauce is a dish that I prepare often, especially when I want a tasty and easy-to-make main course. The combination of tomatoes, lemon and a touch of sugar creates a deliciously sweet and sour sauce that goes perfectly with the chicken. The preparation is really simple and quick, ideal for a family dinner or with friends. The chicken is tender and juicy, wrapped in a sauce rich in flavor. Perfect to accompany with basmati rice or baked potatoes. A real comfort food!
