Cheap N' Easy Sweet N' Sour

I have come up with the world's best and cheapest Sweet N' Sour Meat (Chicken, Pork, or pre-made Costco Meatballs). I found a recipe years ago for "Apricot Chicken" which was similar to this, but my rendition is tastier and easier. Couple notes about this recipe:

• I buy the Kroger brand Russian Dressing from Smith's, sometimes it goes on sale for $1 a bottle
• I have used marmalade in place of the apricot jam, both are equally tasty, only slightly different
  
• You can totally skip the roasted red peppers if you don't have any, it just adds a little more flavor to the dish
• Meatballs are fabulous in this recipe. I buy the giant bag of frozen meatballs from either Costco or Sam's, heat desired amount in the microwave, and then add to sauce when you are almost ready to serve.
• This recipe makes a lot, probably feeds 6-8 people. When I make it for just us, I cut it in half.

Al's Cheap N' Easy Sweet N' Sour Meat

• 6 pork chops, or 6 chicken breasts, or a couple large handfuls of Costco Meatballs
• 1 Tbsp. canola or vegetable oil
  
• 1 (16 oz) bottle Russian Dressing
• 1 cup apricot jam or marmalade
• 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
  
• 1 small jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
• 1 (20 oz) can pineapple chunks or tidbits
• Cooked Rice

Cut pork chops or chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks. In a large saucepan over medium high heat, cook meat in hot oil until done. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together dressing, jam, and soy sauce. Pour over meat in pan. Add peppers and pineapple. Stir until heated through. Remove from heat, serve over cooked rice. If using meatballs, mix together dressing, jam, soy sauce, peppers, and pineapple in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir until heated through. Add cooked meatballs, serve over warm rice.
