Chicken - Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for a slightly richer result; trim excess fat. Sweet and Sour Sauce - Swap half with low-sugar ketchup and a splash of rice vinegar for a lighter tang. Pineapple - Use fresh pineapple chunks and add ¼ cup 100% pineapple juice from a bottle. Brown Sugar - Replace with honey or agave; start with 2 teaspoons and adjust to taste. Vegetables - Use any frozen stir-fry blend or a mix of frozen bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas. Seasoning - Add ½ tsp grated fresh ginger or a dash of red pepper flakes for a little heat.

- Freeze: Portion into freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
