Sweet'n Sour Chicken with Veggies

Chicken (I usually use about 4-6 tenders, so probably 2-4 chicken breasts)
1 Tbsp. oil
2-3 carrots, sliced
1 clove garlic minced
1 onion, chopped
4 Tbsp. corn starch
1 1/3 cups water
2 Tbsp. oil
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup vinegar
4 Tbsp. soy sauce
small can pineapple chunks
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 green bell pepper
Cut chicken into 1" cubes. Saute in oil with onion, garlic, & carrots. Remove from heat.  Combine sugar and corn starch in sauce pan, stir in water. Add oil, vinegar, and soy sauce. Heat and stir and thickened (this takes about 5 minutes- and you need to be continually stirring it until the thickening happens).  Add sauce to chicken and carrots. Add peppers and pineapple and heat until softened.  Serve over rice.
