If I had to choose a favorite kind of food, I would pick Chinese food, “American Chinese food” that is. I absolutely love Sweet n’ Sour chicken, I could polish off at least two of those Chinese takeout boxes like it’s my job but, I wouldn’t be feelin’ too hot the next day. Ever since I really stopped eating processed foods a few years ago, I don’t think my body would handle all of the added MSG and other unknown scary ingredients in Sweet n’ Sour chicken very well. Don’t worry, there is a happy ending.
Healthy, easy to make, sugar-free, MSG-free, gluten-free, low carb, paleo, amazing, delicious and tasty Pineapple Sweet n’ Sour Chicken…….aka the answer to your prayers 🙂
