Sweet and Sour Chicken

So I told you I have been addicted to Pinterest lately and have been trying tons and tons of recipes from there.  I came across this one and it is now one of our family's favorite dinners!  It's simple to make but tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen cooking it!  It's not something that we can have often because it's not the most healthy recipe that I have tried from that site, but every now and then it is ok.  I allow myself an off day each week anyway, so when we have this meal, that is my night off.  I highly recommend this recipe.  It's better than most chinese restaurant sweet and sour chicken that I have had!  I serve mine with jasmine rice.  Yum!


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

Sauce:
¾ cup sugar
4 tablespoons ketchup
½ cup vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt

DIRECTIONS:
For the chicken, 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.
Bake for one hour at 325 degrees. Turn chicken every 15 minutes so it is evenly coated with the sauce. Serve over rice.
