Preparation time: 30 minutes
Yields: 6 portions

Ingredients:

• 2lbs of chicken breast, cubed
• 1 cup of orange juice
• 4 tbsp of soy sauce
• 2 tbsp of white vinegar
• 2 tbsp of cornstarch
• 2 tbsp of sugar
• ¼ cup of oil
• A pinch of salt
• Pepper to taste
• Sesame seeds, optional

Method:

1. In a bowl, mix your cubed chicken with soy sauce, white vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Give it a good stir and set aside. You can cook it right away but if possible, let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. In a separate bowl, combine your orange juice and previously sifted cornstarch. Mix really well. It is important to sift the cornstarch to avoid getting big lumps in the sauce.
3. In a skillet, over medium heat, pour the oil and when already hot, add your cubed chicken, stir continuously until it is well cooked.
4. Add the orange juice mixture into the skillet. Stir now and then. The cornstarch will help to make the sauce thick.
5. When the orange sauce gets thick enough, take it off from the heat.
6. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the chicken.
7. Your sweet and sour chicken is ready to be served with your favorite side dishes!
