Here’s a recipe that’s perfect for using up all those leftover pieces of chicken. This Love Food Hate Waste Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe is simple to make with a lovely sweet taste.

1. Prepare the Pepper by cutting into strips then peel and slice the Onion into half-moons, then set aside. Top and tail the Mange Tout and cut in half diagonally.
2. Chop the Pineapple into chunks then set aside separate from the juice (keeping the juice for later).
3. Heat 1 tbsp of Oil in a large frying pan/wok over a high heat on the hob. Then fry the leftover Chicken Pieces for 10 minutes until the chicken begins to turn brown. Then set the chicken aside from the pan.
4. Place the pan back on the heat with the other 1 tbsp of Oil. When hot, fry the Onion and Pepper for 5-10 minutes until they crisp up.
5. Now add the Soy Sauce, Chicken, Caster Sugar, Juice from 200g of tinned Pineapple, Mustard and Tomato Puree to the pan. Reduce to simmering, thoroughly combine the ingredients and leave to simmer for 10 minutes (or until the sauce thickens).
