This gluten free sweet and sour chicken recipe was adapted from a recipe in Food and Wine magazine. The sauce may be made thick or more saucy and the sauce may be pureed, if desired. My version is lower in calorie and fat, as it is skinless. Serve it atop brown or white rice. Either way, this a gourmet treat, like no other gluten free sweet and sour chicken you’ve ever had!
