Sweet and Sour Chicken

This recipe is a little time consuming but so worth it!  It's delicious, and my kind of comfort food.  I think my favorite part is that I usually have all the ingredients in my kitchen without having to make another trip to the grocery store. Try this!  It'll be worth your time.
