Tender chicken breast in a mouthwatering homemade sweet and sour sauce. The Chicken becomes so juicy in the oven. I love this dish! 

 Sweet and Sour Chicken

 2 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts

salt and pepper

1 cup cornstarch

3 eggs, lightly beaten

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 cup sugar

6 tablespoon ketchup

3/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

 

Cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put the cornstarch in a shallow bowl. Put the eggs in a separate bowl. Place the oil in a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Working in batches, dredge the chicken in the cornstarch, then dip in the egg. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add to the hot oil and brown on all sides. You do not need to cook the chicken through, just brown the outside to get a crispy exterior. Transfer the chicken to a 9×13-inch baking dish and continue with the remaining chicken.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a bowl, combine the sugar, ketchup, cider vinegar, soy sauce and garlic powder. Pour the sauce over the top of the chicken.

Bake the chicken for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Serve over prepared rice.
