Small Disclaimer: This was not a ‘Quick’ recipe. I took a longer time because I cut up my meat so it took longer to coat it. Also, I used the baking time to prepare the stir-fry. So overall it was a little more time consuming, but WAY worth it. SOOOO GOOD!!!!

Just a few more words before I delve into the recipe. First off, the picture isn’t the greatest. I had to take it with my phone, so no judging. Also, I doubled the sauce recipe because I always like having extra (it was good over the stir-fry and would be great on rice). The Hubby and I decided that we are both ‘Sauce People’. Also, I cut my chicken breasts in strips so I ended up needing to use two eggs and about double the flour when coating.

Ingredients:

3 pounds chicken breast
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 beaten egg
4-6 tablespoons flour or cornstarch
3/4 C. sugar
1/2 C. vinegar
1/2 C. chicken broth
3 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Sprinkle chicken with garlic salt and pepper. Let stand for 5-10 minutes. Preheat 325 degrees. Dip chicken in beaten egg, and then in flour or cornstarch. Place in baking dish.

Create your sauce: Mix sugar, vinegar, chicken broth, ketchup, soy sauce and 2 TBSP cornstarch. Pour directly over chicken breasts. Bake uncovered at 325 for 1 hour, or until sauce is thick and dark in color.
