Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
  • Salt and pepper
  • FryLight or low-calorie cooking spray
  • 1 large onion cut into chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper deseeded and cut into chunks
  • 1 green bell pepper deseeded and cut into chunks
  • 1 large carrot cut into matchsticks
  • 200 g/7 oz sugar snap peas topped and tailed
  • 300 g/10 oz fresh pineapple diced

For the Sauce

  • 1-2 tsp grated garlic
  • 1-2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 level tsp cornflour/cornstarch
  • 4 Tbsp tomato purée/tomato paste
  • 2 Tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 300 ml hot chicken stock

To Serve

  • 400 g/14 oz dried egg noodles
  • Sliced red chili optional

Instructions

  • Spray the chicken with FryLight and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Mix the sauce ingredients together and set aside.
  • Place a large, non-stick wok over high heat and when it is smoking, add the chicken and stir-fry for 6-8 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Spray the wok with more FryLight and add the onion, peppers, and carrot and stir-fry for 5 minutes. Add a splash of hot water if required to prevent sticking to the pan.
  • Add the sugar snap peas and stir-fry for a further 4 minutes.
  • Add the chicken back to the wok and pour over the prepared sauce. Cook for 5-6 minutes over low heat to thicken.
  • Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package instructions, then drain.
  • Remove the wok from the heat and stir in the pineapple.
  • Divide the noodles and sweet and sour chicken between four bowls and top with chili if desired.
