Beschreibung

This chicken sweet-and-sour is an absolute classic that I always enjoy preparing. The combination of tender chicken, crunchy vegetables, and the fruity-sweet sauce is simply irresistible. I often make it when I need something quick, but still want something special on the table. The recipe is super simple and guaranteed to succeed. It tastes especially good with rice or noodles. If you like it a little spicier, you can add a pinch of chili. Ideal for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner with friends!
