I have had terrible luck with new recipes lately. I almost didn't try this one because I didn't think I could handle another dud. I'm so, so glad I gave this one a try. It's easily one of our new favorites.
3-4 chicken breasts {I used two huge Costco ones}
salt and pepper
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup canola oil
Sauce:
3/4 cup sugar
4 T ketchup
1/2 c vinegar
1 T soy sauce
1 tsp garlic salt
Cut chicken into chunks. Season with salt and pepper, dip into cornstarch and then into egg. Fry in the oil until brown but not cooked through. {I did about three minutes one one side, flipped them all over and cooked for another minute or two.} Mix sauce ingredients and pour over chicken in an 8x8 baking dish. Bake for one hour at 325 degrees. I thought there was plenty of sauce, but if you want more, you can mix up another batch and simmer over medium heat until thickened. I served this over rice with a side of steamed stir-fry veggies.

I was so shocked how much this tasted like the real stuff that you order at Chinese resteraunts!! I used boneless sirloin pork chops (3) and cut them up into pieces. It worked great, very tender and tasty! I am always looking for stuff that uses other meat besides Chicken. I one and a halfed the sauce and it was the perfect amount! Thanks Mandy, another winner!!
Excited to try this with the pork! You guys have me all excited about the sauce. I can't even tell you how many sauces I've tried and haven't found a winner, yet! What do you think about throwing in some pineapple tidbits in the sauce?
