Sweet and Sour Chicken

This recipe is from the Lion House in Salt Lake City, UT. Ok, seriously, this stuff is SO delicious!!!

Ingredients:

(for chicken)-

2 teaspoon garlic salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 beaten egg

4 to six tablespoons cornstarch or flour

(for sauce)-

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 cup vinegar

1 cup chicken Broth

7 tablespoons ketchup

2 tablespoon soy sauce

7 to 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

 

• Sprinkle chicken with garlic salt & pepper. Let stand for 5-10 minutes. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Dip chicken in beaten egg, then in cornstarch or flour. (cornstarch makes chicken crispier).
• Place in baking dish. 
• Cover with the following sauce: Mix sugar, vinegar, chicken stock, catsup, and soy sauce in medium bowl. Pour over chicken. 
• Bake uncovered for 1 1/2 hours. Turn chicken once or twice.

Bake uncovered at 325 for about 1 1/2 hours, or until sauce is thick and dark in color.

So Easy, and so good! This dish is great for company. Leftovers are wonderful.

I recommend serve this with a baked potato, rolls & a vegetable.

This is also great warmed up the next night, and served on Soft Flour Taco shells, or on a bed of rice.
