Sweet & Sour Chicken

Do you like American-Chinese food? Do you like the American-Chinese version of sweet and sour chicken?
If you answered "yes," then make this for your family this week.
I made this the other night for the first time and here is how my 5 year old reacted..."Mom this is SO good! This is better then Pei Wei. (P.F. Chang's step down restaurant.) I'm calling Pei Wei right now. When you die, can I have this recipe?"
I am not exagerating. This is what she said to me. So here it is. Oh and it's not my recipe. It's all thanks to Pinterest and this lady's blog.



INGREDIENTS:
1 package chicken breasts, cut into cubes
1 cup corn starch
2 eggs beaten + 1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup canola oil

SAUCE:
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 white vinegar
1 TBSP soy sauce
4 TBSP ketchup
1 tsp garlic salt

1. Preheat oven to 350. Trim chicken and cut into 1in cubes. Dip into corn starch. Then coat fully into egg/milk mixture. Heat oil in a large skillet. Cook the chicken just until browned; it will be going in the oven as well. Once browned, place in a 9x13 pan.
2. Make the sauce. Whisk until smooth. Once all the chicken is browned and in the 9x13 pan, pour the sauce over all of the chicken and cook for 15 minutes at 350. Turn the chicken and cook 15 more min. Serve with rice.
