This is a recipe from Canadian Living. I like it because the sauce is not too gloppy and sugary and the chicken is browned very nicely, it tastes more authentically Chinese. You can also add a red pepper if you wish, or some grated ginger.
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
1 egg white
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon dry sherry (optional)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 green pepper, cubed
1 onion, cubed
1 (10 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

1. In bowl, combine chicken, cornstarch, flour, salt, pepper and egg white, let stand 10 minutes.
