Hi, I'm Danelle and this is where I dish about my favorite recipes. I focus on simple, family friendly fare and try to make feeding the family a little bit easier for everyone.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup canola oil
¾ cup sugar
4 tablespoons ketchup
½ cup vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
Cooked rice
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cut boneless chicken breasts into chunks. Season with salt and pepper. Dip chicken in beaten egg, then in cornstarch. Fry in a little oil until brown but not cooked through. Place in a single layer in a baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine sugar, ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce and garlic. Mix well and pour over chicken. Bake for one hour, turning chicken halfway through cooking so it is evenly coated with the sauce. Serve over rice.
Let's Dish
I've got several picky eaters, so it's not often I make something that everyone likes. Everyone likes this! We almost always have leftovers around here, but there are never leftovers when I make this sweet and sour chicken. I like to double the sauce and keep half warm in a saucepan on the stove while the chicken cooks. That way there is plenty of sauce for spooning over your rice.
