\u2013 2 large , beaten
\u2013 1\/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
\u2013 1 red bell pepper, diced
\u2013 1 green bell pepper, diced
\u2013 1 cup pineapple chunks
\u2013 1\/2 cup peas
\u2013 2 green onions, sliced

**For the Sweet and Sour Sauce:**

\u2013 1\/2 cup brown sugar

\u2013 1 small onion, diced
\u2013 2 cloves garlic, minced

\u2013 2 large eggs, beaten
\u2013 3 tbsp soy sauce
\u2013 Salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. **Prepare the Sweet and Sour Chicken:**
\u2013 Coat the chicken pieces in cornstarch, then dip them in the beaten eggs.
\u2013 In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
\u2013 In the same skillet, saut\u00e9 the diced bell peppers for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
\u2013 Add the pineapple chunks and peas to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. **Make the Sweet and Sour Sauce:**
\u2013 In a bowl, whisk together the ketchup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and pineapple juice.
\u2013 Pour the sauce into the skillet with the vegetables and bring to a simmer.
\u2013 Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce has thickened.
\u2013 Add the fried chicken pieces back into the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. **Prepare the Fried Rice:**
\u2013 In a separate large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
\u2013 Add the diced onion and cook until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
\u2013 Stir in the peas and carrots and cook for 2 minutes.
\u2013 Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.
\u2013 Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir to combine. Pour the soy sauce over the rice and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. **Assemble the Dish:**
\u2013 Serve the sweet and sour chicken over the fried rice.
\u2013 Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
