Sweet and Sour Chicken

OK, so I absolutely LOVE Chinese food, but rarely have the means to take the whole family out.  So I get super excited when I find a good Chinese recipe.  And I have to say.....I found a good one this time.  (Original recipe found at Made it, Ate it, Loved it)

At first, I wasn't sure about this recipe, because I had never coated chicken in straight cornstarch before.  But, I thought......OK, I'll try it once, and if we don't like it, I will go back to the ol' flour standby.  Well, guess what?  I think I will stick to the cornstarch.  It was so yummy!!!
The only thing that I changed from the original was; fresh garlic instead of garlic salt.

To go with our Sweet and Sour Chicken, I picked up some egg rolls from the frozen section, and made homemade fried rice.  The kids (and my DH) gobbled it up.

Chicken Breading:

5 chicken breast
salt and pepper
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup canola oil

Rinse chicken, trim off fat or extras and then cut into 1 inch cubes. season with salt and pepper. Dip chicken into cornstarch and coat all the way and then into eggs. Heat oil in large skillet. Cook chicken until browned. Place in 9x13 baking dish.

Sauce:
3/4 cups sugar
4 Tablespoons ketchup

1/2 cup white distilled vinegar

1 Tablespoon soy sauce
2 cloves finely chopped garlic

Whisk until smooth. Then pour evenly over chicken. Turn chicken so the sauce gets on both sides and then put in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. turn chicken and then cook for 15 more minutes.

If you have a FABULOUS Chinese recipe, please share, I would love to try it!!
