Craving a delicious and homemade meal that’s both easy to prepare and bursting with flavor? Look no further! Today, we’re sharing a fantastic Sweet and Sour Chicken recipe that will have your loved ones asking for seconds.

Ingredients:

• 3-5 chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper
• 1 cup cornstarch
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/3 cup canola oil

Directions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by giving the chicken breasts a good rinse and trim off any excess fat. Cut the chicken into bite-sized, 1-inch cubes for a perfect, bite-sized delight.
2. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken cubes, ensuring that each piece is seasoned to perfection. This step sets the foundation for a flavorful dish.
3. Coat with Cornstarch and Eggs: Take each seasoned chicken cube and dip it first into the cornstarch, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, creating a perfect coating that will result in a crispy exterior when cooked.
4. Cook the Chicken: Heat up the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken cubes. Cook until they turn a beautiful golden brown, ensuring each side is perfectly cooked.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Once your chicken is perfectly cooked and golden, transfer it to a baking dish. For 3 chicken breasts, a 9×9 dish will do, but if you’re cooking 5, opt for a 9×13 dish for more space.

Sweet and Sour Sauce:

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 4 tablespoons ketchup
• 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Directions for the Sauce: Whisk all the sauce ingredients together until you achieve a smooth consistency. Pour the sauce evenly over the cooked chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and bake the chicken for 15 minutes. Then, flip the chicken over and bake for an additional 15 minutes. This step allows the sauce to infuse into the chicken, creating a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.
