Sweet and Sour Chicken

I never order Chinese food because every time I eat it, it makes me quite ill. I blame the oils and terrible MSG in the food. Therefore, any Chinese recipes I find...I make them work for me! This is a delicious and easy one to make.

There are 2 steps to this recipe--start with the chicken then the sauce.

Chicken Breading:


3-5 chicken breast
salt and pepper
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup canola oil

1. Rinse chicken, trim off fat or extras and then cut into 1 inch cubes. 
2. Season with salt and pepper. Dip chicken into cornstarch and coat all the way and then into eggs. 
3. Heat oil in large skillet. Cook chicken until browned. Place in baking dish.

Sauce:
3/4 cups white sugar
4 Tablespoons ketchup

1/2 cup white distilled vinegar

1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt

1. Whisk until smooth. Then pour evenly over chicken. 
2. Turn chicken so the sauce gets on both sides and then put in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. 
3. Turn chicken and then cook for 15 more minutes.
