Monday Menu

So I was cooking dinner the other night and thought that the recipe I was using was to good not to share so thought I will put it up on the blog and see how it goes. This recipe is for sweet and sour chicken. I make it at least twice a month. Chinese food is my husbands favorite and I hate going out for chinese. I hated chinese food before I tried this recipe. Literally makes me sick. So this is our compromise. Homemade is always better right? RIGHT! Here's the recipe.

Ingredients

• 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1½ cup cornstarch
• 3 eggs, beaten
• ¼ cup canola oil
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons ketchup
• ¼ cup white vinegar
• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
2. In separate bowls, place cornstarch and slightly beaten eggs. Dip chicken into cornstarch then coat in egg mixture.
3. 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.
4. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic salt. Pour over chicken and bake for 1 hour.
5. I stirred the chicken every 15 minutes so that it coated them in the sauce.

I can't take credit for this recipe. Got it from here! She has a ton of other chinese food options. This one just happens to be our favorite.
