If you are anything like me, you love Chinese food!
And have been thinking about trying your hand at cooking it for yourself. Don't ask me why I have waited so long to do it. But boy oh boy was it amazing. I came across a number of posts through Pinterest for these recipes. Gotta love the internet, gotta love Pinterest!!! So tonight I gave it a try, finally. Here are the recipes I used. I did change them up just the tiniest bit. Since I did not have any garlic cloves, or onion called for with the rice. But it was just fine with me since I am not a fan of either.
Ingredients
| Chicken: | |
| 3-4 | boneless, skinless chicken breasts |
| Salt and pepper to taste | |
| 1½ | cup cornstarch |
| 3 | eggs, beaten |

| 1 | cup granulated sugar |
| 4 | tablespoons ketchup |
| ¼ | cup white vinegar |
| ¼ | cup apple cider vinegar |
| 1 | tablespoon low sodium soy sauce |
| 1 | teaspoon garlic salt Directions |
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Place cornstarch and beaten eggs in separate bowls. Dip chicken into cornstarch then coat in egg mixture. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until browned. Place the chicken in a 9 × 13 greased baking dish. In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce and garlic salt. Pour over chicken and bake for one hour.
