Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken


This recipe is borrowed from a girlfriend of mine, Lauren. She made this for us this past week and it was so much better and healthier than ordering Chinese Food! 



Ingredients: 

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

Sweet and sour sauce:
1 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons of ketchup
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt

For veggies, sautee chopped carrots, mushrooms, and greenbeans in the sweet and sour sauce. 

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
3. Place cornstarch and beaten eggs in separate bowls.
4. Dip chicken into cornstarch and then coat in egg mixture.
5. Heat canola oil in a large skiller over medium-high heat and cook chicken until browned.
6. Place browned chicken in a 9 x 13 greased baking dish. 
7. In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, ketchup, vinegars, soy sauce, and garlic salt. 
8. Poor sauce over mixture chicken and bake for 45-60 minutes. 
9. While the chicken is baking, cook brown rice and sautee the veggies. Once the chicken is done, mixed everything together!
10. Enjoy!
