Tonight's dinner - Baked Sweet & Sour Chicken, Baked Crab Rangoon, Banana Creme Pie

I made the Baked Sweet & Sour Chicken about a month ago and my daughter INHALED it and asked when we could have it again.  I finally got it back into the rotation tonight and it was once again a hit.  So thought I should share with all of you.  I made the Banana Creme Pie for my hubby as a reward for eating a Chinese Food dinner.....that is NOT his favorite.  What a good sport!!!

Baked Sweet & Sour Chicken

The chicken coating:

3-4 boneless chicken breasts

salt + pepper

1 cup cornstarch

2 eggs, beaten

1/4 cup canola oil

The sweet and sour sauce:

3/4 cup sugar (I used Splenda to reduce the calories)

4 tbs ketchup

1/2 cup vinegar

1 tbs soy sauce

1 tsp garlic salt

       Start by preheating your oven to 325 degrees. Rinse your chicken breasts in water and then cut into cubes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Dip chicken into the cornstarch to coat then dip into the eggs.  Heat your 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet and cook your chicken until browned but not cooked through. Place the chicken in a 9x13 greased baking dish. Mix all of your sweet and sour sauce ingredients in a bowl with a whisk and then pour evenly over the chicken. Bake for one hour and during the baking process you will need to turn the chicken every 15 minutes.
