Easy and delicious sweet and sour chicken that is baked instead of fried.

📝 Ingredients

  • 3 pounds boneless (skinless chicken breast, cubed (about 4 breasts))
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 3 Tbsp oil (I used vegetable oil)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp chicken bouillon
  • 1/4 cup vinegar
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup water

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Place cornstarch in one shallow bowl, and beaten eggs in another. Dip cubed chicken with egg, then coat with cornstarch.
  2. 2Brown all sides of chicken in oil in a non stick skillet over medium high heat. You do not need to cook completely, just brown. Spread browned chicken pieces in a 9x13" pan that has been sprayed with non stick cooking spray.
  3. 3Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  4. 4Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan bring to a boil, whisking often.
  5. 5Pour sauce over chicken pieces, stirring to coat evenly.
  6. 6Bake at 350° for about an hour, turning chicken every 20 minutes or so. Sauce should be thickened and bubbly and chicken should be cooked through.
  7. 7Serve over steamed white rice.
