Sweet & Sour Chicken

By shelliec

Ingredients

• Sauce:
• 6 boneless,skinless chicken breast halves (I cut mine up into "tenders" pieces)
• 2 eggs, beaten
• cornstarch (naturally gluten-free) or flour
• oil
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 4 T ketchup
• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 1 T soy sauce or worchestershire sauce
• 1/2 t. garlic powder (I used minced garlic from a jar)
• Mix together in a bowl and set aside.

Preparation

Step 1

Dip chicken breasts in egg, then roll in cornstarch.
In a small amount of oil, fry the chicken until just browned on both sides.

Optional: put a layer of thinly sliced fresh lemon on the bottom of a lined baking sheet.
(This step isn't part of the original recipe, but something I started doing after
seeing it done when roasting SHRIMP. It gives it a little more tartness.
Then placed the browned chicken on top of the lemon slices. Pour sauce over.

BAKE 325° uncovered for 50 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over once halfway through the cooking process to ensure they are nice and covered in the sauce!

Serve with Rice.
