Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken

I found this recipe on Pinterest via Life as a loft house.
I changed 2 or three parts of the ingredients because I used what we had in the house.

We loved this recipe. Not your usual sweet and sour recipe, but very tasty.


Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken

The chicken coating:

5-6 boneless chicken breasts
salt + pepper
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten (I found I needed 3 eggs)
1/4 cup canola oil

The sweet and sour sauce:

3/4 cup brown sugar
4 tbs ketchup
1/2 cup apple  vinegar
1 tbs soy sauce
1 tsp garlic powder

       Start by preheating your oven to 325 degrees. Rinse your chicken breasts in water and then cut into cubes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Dip chicken into the cornstarch to coat then dip into the eggs.  Heat your 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet and cook your chicken until browned but not cooked through. Place the chicken in a 9x13 greased baking dish. Mix all of your sweet and sour sauce ingredients in a bowl with a whisk and then pour evenly over the chicken. Bake for one hour and during the baking process you will need to turn the chicken every 15 minutes.
