Here is how you make Sweet and Sour Chicken Meatballs:

Heat oil in a large pot or dutch oven. Add onion, green pepper and carrot. Cook for 5-10 minutes until onion is softened. Stir in broth, tomato sauce, brown sugar, white vinegar, pineapple with juice, corn starch and ketchup. Simmer for 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender.Meanwhile, soak bread in milk in a large bowl until milk is absorbed. Mix together with ground chicken, shredded zucchini, egg, salt, black pepper and garlic.Using two spoons, drop meat by the spoonful into simmering sauce. (Meat will be really wet and goopy but will firm up when dropped into sauce). Cook 15 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through and sauce thickens a bit. Stir very gently so you do not break up the meatballs. For a thicker sauce, add a little more cornstarch. Remove from heat and serve over cooked rice or no yolk egg noodles.

What a surprise when it actually turned out so good.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JOOLIEBOOLIE69.
