Sweet and Sour Chicken

All the right stuff

While I was shopping I discovered these eating plans designed to keep families healthy.  I saw a range of free quick and easy recipes. I was happy to see that there were more recipes than just standard pasta and pre made sauce. Though I was provided with some dishes included tomato sauce dishes, the sauce was all amde from scratch.  I decided to make 'Sweet and Sour Chicken', though it may not taste like the takeaway.  It still had all the things I needed for my diet including lots of protein.

This recipe was adapted from the 'Asda Change For Life: Supermeals'
