Sweet and Sour Chicken

Ingredients

To prepare the sweet and sour chicken, begin by deboning the chicken thighs: butterfly them open with a sharp knife and remove the small bone. Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces. Ensure the pieces are roughly uniform in size to guarantee even cooking.
Dredge the chicken pieces thoroughly in flour, shaking off any excess.
Cut the cherry tomatoes into halves or quarters depending on their size and set them aside. Slice the spring onions into rounds and sauté them in a large pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Add the chicken pieces to the pan and brown them over medium-high heat.
Once golden brown, sprinkle the brown sugar over the chicken, stir well until dissolved, and then deglaze with the white vinegar.
Lower the heat and add the cherry tomatoes. Stir, cover with a lid, and let simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Near the end of cooking, season with salt and pepper to taste.
Finish the sweet and sour chicken by stirring in finely chopped fresh parsley, then serve hot.
