Sweet and Simple Chicken and Rice Recipe





Here are two versions of the Sweet and Simple Chicken and Rice Recipe- One is a fast and easy version, one is the version pictured above (Gluten free)

 Sweet and Simple Chicken and Rice

Sweet Sauce: 
1 and 1/4 cup of Sugar
1/2 cup of Ketchup
1/2 cup of Water
2 TBL of soy Sauce

Mix all of the ingredients together in a pot until sugar is dissolved on medium high heat, bring to a boil, turn heat down to medium. Let the sauce cook uncovered for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. 

This Sauce can be served warm or cold. We often make a double batch and store it in mason jars in our refrigerator. 

To finish up this recipe we make the desired amount of rice we want. For the chicken we heat up some  popcorn chicken in our convection toaster. Popcorn chicken can be found at most grocery stores in the freezer section. They are kind of nicer version of chicken nuggets! 

Place the rice on a plate, top with the popcorn chicken and pour some of the sweet sauce on top! We also add duck sauce and soy sauce.

This recipe was kind of made up at the last minute to accommodate our friend who was gluten intolerant.
The major difference was making our own un-breaded chicken.  

Sweet Sauce:
1 and 1/4 cup of Sugar
1/2 cup of Ketchup
1/2 cup of Water
2 TBL of soy Sauce

Mix all of the ingredients together in a pot until sugar is dissolved on medium high heat, bring to a boil, turn heat down to medium. Let the sauce cook uncovered for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.


Take 2 large chicken breasts and cute into cube shapes. Toss into an oiled pan. We basically pan fried them until they were cooked. 

My husband sauteed green onion, orange and yellow peppers, broccoli and sliced garlic with a bit of salt until they were cooked through- this was kind of a last minute thing and not exactly by a recipe. To finish up this meal Justin made enough rice for four people. Everyone scooped out what they wanted on their plates and poured the Sweet sauce on top. 



Let me know if you make this recipe and what you did to make it your own version!! :)
God bless,

  1. Okay, am I the only one who is surprised there are no oranges in orange sauce? LOL. I will try the gluten-free version since we have all ingredients on hand. What is duck sauce?

  2. My family has been calling this recipe "Orange Chicken" for as long as I can remember and there never has been oranges in it! lol I seem to remember it being called General Tsao's Chicken at one point but we could never agree on pronunciation. My brothers called it "General's Toes"!!
