Sweet and Sour Chicken

posted by Jamie Y. at dinners ready

You've probably noticed a theme with my recipes: anything chicken, or easy not-so-authentic-but-still-good Chinese food. Here's another one to chalk up for the Chinese department. I dare you to find another sweet and sour chicken recipe that is this easy and tastes this good. I double dare you.
2-3 chicken breasts1/2 c flour
1/4 c cornstarch
salt and pepper
¾ c sugar
1/3 c chicken broth
1/3 c ketchup
1 ¼ Tbs soy sauce
Preheat oven to 350. Cut chicken into strips. Mix cornstarch, flour, salt and pepper. Shake chicken and coat evenly. Fry in cooking oil over med-high heat until just starting to brown (don't overcook). Combine remaining ingredients to make a sauce. Pour over chicken, then cover and cook for 45 minutes. Serve over cooked rice.

update: our family tried this and gave it two thumbs up. I think that next time I will fry up twice the amount of chicken and put a batch in the freezer. Chris was thinking that maybe we should add 1T vinegar, and was thinking of maybe adding red pepper flakes to give it some heat. I cant say however, if that would make it any better.
