Sweet & Sour Chicken


OMG! This is so good. H said that it was better than what you can get at a restaurant since theirs is fried. I got this recipe from Molly's blog. I was supposed to make it last week, but forgot to buy rice and white vinegar. So it got added to this week's menu.

Ingredients
Chicken:
  • 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (used 20 oz. pkg of tenders)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup canola oil

Sauce: (doubled and saved half to use for dipping)
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons ketchup
  • ½ cup vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Preparation
  • Cut boneless chicken breasts into chunks. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Dip chicken in cornstarch and then in egg.
  • Fry in a little oil until brown but not cooked through.
  • Place in a single layer in a baking dish.
  • Mix sauce ingredients together and pour over chicken.
  • Bake for one hour at 325 degrees. Turn chicken every 15 minutes.
  • If you like extra sauce, make another batch of sauce and bring it to a boil on the stovetop. Stir constantly and let cook over medium heat until thickened and reduced - about 6-8 minutes.

Next time- wouldn't change a darn thing!!
