This sweet and sour chicken recipe is a family favorite and easy to make because you don't have to bread and fry the chicken first. It is all stir-fried up together and the taste is so good that you won't miss the breading one bit. And of course, that means this dish is low-fat and low-calorie too. Most restaurants color their sweet and sour dishes to get that deep red hue, but it's just as pretty made with cayenne pepper for both spice and coloring. Thai sweet and sour dishes are very close in taste to their chinese counterpart but have a few added ingredients, including a little chili.
