Sweet & Sour Chicken

I love this recipe.  It's a little messy to make with the frying, but it is the best homemade sweet and sour chicken I've ever had.  I'm not usually a fan of Asian food made at home, I always feel its better at the restaurant, but this is one that is on the regular rotation at our house.  Serve with rice and egg rolls and it's just like takeout!

INGREDIENTS

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper
• 1 cup cornstarch
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• Onion, cut into chunks
• Green pepper, cut into chunks
• Pineapple

Sauce:

• ¾ cup sugar
• 4 tablespoons ketchup
• ½ cup vinegar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Cut boneless chicken breasts into chunks. Season with salt and pepper. Dip chicken in cornstarch and then in egg. Fry in a little oil until brown but not cooked through. Place in a single layer in a baking dish.

Mix sauce ingredients together and pour over chicken.  Add in onion.

Bake for one hour at 325 degrees.   Add in green pepper and pineapple for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
