Sweet and Sour Chicken

I've been told that I start almost every post with how delicious I think the recipe is. So from now on, just assume that if it makes it to the blog we love it! I won't post anything we wouldn't eat again! :)

This was the first meal I made that was Chinese when we got married. Charlie had a bad day today at work. So, it's a perfect date night meal! We're having this with a Redbox movie and some cuddles on the couch. Surely, that will cheer him up!

This is an easy meal, but takes some time to cook. So don't plan on throwing this together really quickly when you get home.

Chicken
3 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
Salt and pepper
1 C cornstarch
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 oil

Cut the chicken into either cubes or strips. Season with salt and pepper. Dip the chicken in cornstarch and then the egg. Fry until brown, but not cooked quite all the way through. Place in a single layer in a baking dish. Mix the sauce and pour oven the chicken.

Sauce
3/4 C sugar
4 T ketchup
1/2 C vinegar
1 T soy sauce
1 tsp. garlic salt

Bake for 1 hour at 325°. Turn chicken every 15 minutes. If you want more sauce (we always do) make another batch and boil on the stove for about 7 minutes. It should thicken and reduce. Serve with rice. YUMMY!
