Sweet-N-Sour Chicken

This recipe absolutely BLEW me away. 

I've tried to make multiple sweet-n-sour chicken recipes to mimic one that Christopher and I used to LOVE before the restaurant closed. 

This is defiantly the closest I've come to it! There is still some tweaking to do, but MAN it's flippin' delicious!

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
• salt and pepper, to taste
• Slap Ya MaMa seasoning, to taste
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 3 scoops coconut oil
• 1 Cup cooked Brown Rice
For the sweet and sour sauce
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. 
• Lightly oil a 9x13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray (I used Olive Oil Spray).
• 
  
• Make the Sauce:
• Whisk together sugar, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce and garlic powder in a large bowl.
• Set aside.
• 
  
• In a large bowl, season chicken with salt/pepper & Slap Ya MaMa seasoning, to taste. 
• Stir in cornstarch with slotted spoon and gently toss to combine. 
• 
  
• Heat olive oil in a large saucepan. 
• Once olive oil is heated, one at a time, dip the chicken into the eggs. and cook until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. 
• 
  
• Transfer chicken to a paper towel-lined plate; discard excess oil.
• 
  
• Once all chicken is lightly browned, add chicken to prepared baking dish. 
• Top with previously mixed sweet and sour sauce. 
• 
  
• Place into oven and bake until the sauce has thickened, about 55 minutes, turning over every 15 minutes to evenly coat the chicken.
• 
  
• Serve immediately over 1/4 cup brown rice.
