Sweet N Sour Chicken & Rice

So for tonight's dinner I decided to make sweet n sour chicken and rice.  I was a little concerned that it wasn't going to turn out that well.  As I was making it I came to realize that it actually turned out WAY better than I thought.  :D  As for most of use we did eat it with rice, but as for the little ones they ate just the chicken (chicken nuggets).  So basically this recipe can be used for 2 different dinners.  My kids loved every bit of it.  As for the sweet n sour sauce, you will find the recipe in an earlier post.  

Ingredients:
1 can of pineapple chunks 
8 skinless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes
2 1/4 cups of self - rising flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons of cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of white pepper
1 egg
1 1/2 cups of water
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
1 red bell pepper - cut into 1 inch pieces
1 green bell pepper - cut into 1 inch pieces
Cooked rice

Directions:
1. Combine flour, 2 tbl oil, 2 tbl cornstarch, salt, white pepper and egg.  Add 1 1/2 cups water gradually to make a thick batter.  Stir to blend thoroughly.  Add chicken pieces and stir until chicken is well coated.  

2. Heat oil in skillet or wok to 360' F (180 degrees C)  Fry chicken pieces in hot oil 10 minutes or until golden.  Remove chicken and drain on paper towels.

3.  When ready to serve, layer green and red bell peppers, pineapple chunks and cooked chicken pieces on a platter atop of rice.  Pour hot sweet n sour sauce over top.
