How to make Sweet and Sour Chicken


CHICKEN INGREDIENTS
  • 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup corn starch
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder for seasoning the chicken
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (more if needed)
  • 1 green pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 red or yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
SAUCE INGREDIENTS
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 cup vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
DIRECTIONS

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Cut chicken into 1 inch chunks, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Dip each piece of chicken in corn starch, then in egg.
  4. In a skillet, heat vegetable oil to medium-high heat and brown each piece of chicken on both sides.
  5. Place browned chicken in a large rimmed baking sheet. Add in pineapple and pepper chunks.
  6. In a large bowl whisk together all sauce ingredients and pour over the chicken.
  7. Bake in the oven for about an hour, turning the chicken every 15 minutes. Remove the chicken and vegetables from the pan, and pour remaining sauce into a bowl and serve alongside the chicken if you’d like extra sauce.
  8. Serve over rice and enjoy!
