Baked Sweet & Sour Chicken

This yummy Chinese dish I found on a new food blog I follow, Life as a Lofthouse. Check out the fried rice recipe too for a a great side to this dish. I will have to say it was a bit of a process to make everything. For me, this would be a great dinner for the weekend versus a week night!

Ingredients:
3-4 chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
1/4 c canola oil
1 c corn starch
2 eggs, beaten

Sweet & Sour sauce:
3/4 c sugar
4 tbsp ketchup
1/2 c distilled white vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp garlic salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Wash and pay dry chicken. Cut into cubes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Dip each piece of chicken in corn starch to coat and then dip in egg. When all pieces are covered, heat oil in skillet. Brown both sides of chicken pieces. Don't worry is meat isn't cooked through. Place in a greased 9x 12 baking dish. Mix all of your sweet and sour sauce ingredients in a bowl with a whisk. Pour over chicken evenly. Bake for 1 hour but turning chicken every 15 minutes.
