I'm looking for a recipe for Sweet and Sour Chicken served on chow mein noodles?
I had a recipe that I cut from the newspaper. It was for Sweet n Sour Chicken. I remember it had chicken, soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, corn starch, bell peppers, water chestnuts, and was served with chow mien noodles. I just don't have the amounts of each item. If anyone happens to have this recipe I would sure appreciate it if you could share it with me. It was one of my families favorites and it was lost when we moved.

You've got the recipe in your head, obviously...so, was it "stir-fried chicken", or: was it "marinated and battered and deep-fried" chicken? (kinda like sweet-sour pork recipes...)
The taste or texture will be very different, depending on how you cook it...check your memory cells! Beer batter? Tempura batter? Stir-fry?...You'll get it if you relax and remember how you made it that last time. If it was sort-of 'easy', it was probably a stir-fried dish, but Chinese food is never that easy to prepare. If it was a pain in the a$$ to make, it was the marinated, battered, etc, dish. Think, Dude!
Best of luck!

The sauce, chicken, veggies will be in proportion to the amount of noodles used. You don't want one item to be more than the other to make the dish lobe-sided and not balance. So noodles assuming in proportion of 3 parts and 1 part chicken and 1 part veggies. As for the sauce 3 tablespoon of ketchup, 2 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oystersauce, 1 tablespoon of chinese cooking wine, 1-2 cups of water with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Mix well and the dish should not be dried but with a little runny consistency You can always add broth or water to the dish as the noodles tend to soak up the liquid real fast *

You don't need amounts - :)
A little of this, a little of that, to taste.
I would just marinate the chicken in soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, honey... :)
Cook in skillet, add vegs. :)
Serve w rice or noodles.
