Sweet and Sour Chicken

Here's another recipe I recently found that my family really enjoyed. It's pretty quick and easy. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. 

Sweet and Sour Chicken

Start by preheating oven to 325.

2 tsp garlic salt

1 tsp black pepper

3 tbsp cornstarch

1c sugar

1 c vinegar

1 c chicken broth

7 tbsp ketchup

2 tbsp soy sauce

7 to 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into chunks. 

Season chicken with garlic salt and pepper. Put chicken in 9x13 baking dish. 

In a bowl, mix together the cornstarch, sugar, vinegar, chicken broth, ketchup and soy sauce. Add sauce to chicken. 

Bake uncovered for 1.5 hours. Stir (move) the chicken every 30 minutes (twice during the cooking time). 

This was great over rice and a side of broccoli. 

Crock pot version:

Add whole chicken breasts to crockpot. Mix sauce plus an additional 2 tbsp cornstarch in bowl and pour over chicken. Cook for 2.5 hours. Take out chicken breast and place on cutting board. Pour sauce from crock pot into a sauce pan and  cook until thick. Cut the chicken breast into bite size pieces while sauce is cooking and add back to crock pot with thickened sauce. Cook another 30 minutes. 

The crock pot version is just as tasty but the sauce doesn't get a very rich caramelized color.
