Instructions

Step 1

Begin by cutting the sausages into 1" slices and the chicken into bite size pieces. Toss the meat with 1 tsp sesame oil, brown sugar and lime juice. Line a baking sheet with foil. Spread the meat out on the pan in a single layer and cook in a 375°F oven for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare the sweet and sour sauce. Whisk the cornstarch, juice and apple cider vinegar together in a pot then add the soya sauce, honey and tomato paste. Cook over medium high heat to thicken, about 3-5 minute. So just about when the meat timer is up the sauce should be ready.

Step 3

Toss the pineapple, onion, bell peppers, celery and mushrooms with 1 tsp sesame oil and add to the pan. Pour the sauce over everything and toss to coat. Pop back into the oven for 15 minutes.
