Sweet & Sour Chicken


Mmmmmm... so good! This is a little more involved to make, but it wasn't too bad. If you have a fantastic husband to help you around the kitchen it goes quite fast. Make sure to prepare ahead of time for the hour it takes to cook! But let me tell you, it was WELL worth it! This recipe is courtesy of http://mykitchencafe.blogspot.com/

SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN

Chicken:
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup canola oil

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 (below) together and pour over chicken.

Sauce:
¾ cup sugar
4 tablespoons ketchup (or ¼ cup)
½ cup vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt

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.
