Sweet and Sour Chicken

I already blogged about this recipe and how much I LOVE it. I adore it. I ... I don't know what more I can say about how much I love this recipe. Anyway, I realized I never actually posted the recipe. So here it is. You must try it!!

Sweet and Sour Chicken
Makes 4 servings (I think it actually could feed 5-6 if you eat small portions)

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

Sauce:
3/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons ketchup
1/2 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt

1. Preheat oven to 325.

2. 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.

3. Bake chicken for ONE HOUR. Turn chicken every 15 minutes.

4. If you like extra sauce, make another batch and bring it to a boil on the stovetop (the amount called for usually is enough for me). Stir constantly and let cook over medium heat until thickened and reduced - about 6-8 minutes.

5. Serve over rice and veggies.

***I just lightly steamed some veggies for this.
