Paleo Sweet and Sour Chicken

I really, really love Chinese food! Sweet and sour chicken was something that I couldn't get enough of when I was younger. When I stumbled upon Brittany Angell's website, this was the first recipe I tried. We have now made it almost weekly and it is a huge hit with all the members in our family.  I will say that the recipe is 100% paleo with no grains, sugars, or dairy but you can see we paired it with rice. If you want to go completely grain-free then it tastes just as great with cauliflower rice.

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp Oil
• 1.5 pounds of Chicken Thighs, chopped into bite size pieces
Batter
• 2 Large Eggs
• 1 Cup Arrowroot or Tapioca
• 1/4 Cup Coconut Aminos (Or Liquid Aminos or GF soy sauce)
Coating
• 1/2 Cup Tapioca Flour
• 1/2 Tbsp Coconut Flour
• 1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Pepper
Sauce
• 2- 8 oz Pineapple Chunks (optional)
• 1/2 Cup Pineapple Juice
• 3 Tbsp White Vinegar
• 3 Tbsp Ketchup
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 2-3.5 Tbsp Coconut Palm Sugar
• 1 tsp fresh grated Ginger
• 1 tsp Starch (Tapioca or arrowroot)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl mix all the ingredients for the batter.
2. In a separate bowl mix together ingredients for the coating.
3. Drop chicken pieces in the batter and then dredge in the coating.
4. Meanwhile heat up a skillet over medium-low heat with 2 T of oil.
5. Cook chicken until no longer pink in the middle- turning minimally so that the coating stays on really well. (once fully cooked it will stick on fabulously)
6. In a separate sauce pan combine all the sauce ingredients. Simmer until sauce is heated through and has thickened slightly. Add it to the breaded chicken and then serve.
