Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe

By Pagingdrstarling

My husband and I love Chinese take out, but we don't love all the calories that come with it. This Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken tastes good enough to come from a restaurant but you don't even have to leave the house to get it! In place of the apple cider and white vinegar we just use 3 oz of white vinegar and it tastes perfect!

Ingredients

• CHICKEN:
• 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE:
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons ketchup
• 3 ounces white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees fahrenheit.

Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

Place cornstarch and beaten eggs in separate bowls. Dip chicken into cornstarch then coat in egg mixture. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until browned.

Place the chicken in a 9 x 13 greased baking dish. In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, ketchup, vinegars, soy sauce and garlic salt. Pour over chicken and bake for one hour, turning chicken every 15 minutes.
