Sweet and Sour Chicken

I should call my blog "What Emily Makes" because I have been on a kick of just looking at her blog for recipes.  She always has yummy ones. Just in case you forgot, you can check out her blog here!

So I LOVE sweet and sour chicken from Chinese food places but I HATE all of the breading and gross chicken that you sometimes find.  Emily found this AMAZING recipe from another blog called
Life as a Lofthouse and it was better than sweet and sour chicken from a Chinese food place.


The chicken :

3-4 boneless chicken breasts

salt + pepper

1 cup cornstarch

2 eggs, beaten

1/4 cup oil


 
Sauce:

3/4 cup sugar

4 tbs ketchup

1/2 cup vinegar

1 tbs soy sauce

1 tsp garlic salt



Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
 
Rinse your chicken and then cut into cubes. Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Dip chicken into the cornstarch and then dip into the eggs. 
 
Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet and cook chicken until browned but not cooked through.
 
Place the chicken in a 9x13 greased baking dish.
 
Mix all of your sauce ingredients in a bowl and then pour evenly over the chicken.
 
Bake for one hour and during the baking process you will need to turn the chicken
every 15 minutes.
