I loooooooove me some Chinese food! I was brave and had my in-laws over for the first time I made this meal. A BIG thumbs up from everyone at the table! I'm sure that it has to be 100 times healthier than the preservative-filled, jacked up poison you get in take out form. It is time consuming but NOT difficult in any fashion. I think the next time I cook it, it will go faster. I've never battered and "fried" anything before. I put only enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan and keep it from sticking.
Ingredients:
Smidge of olive oil (for bottom of pan)
3 chicken breast (cut in 1" pieces)
1 c corn starch
S/P
2 eggs
3/4 c white sugar
4 T ketchup
1/2 c white vinegar
1 T soy sauce (I use reduced sodium)
1 t garlic salt
brown rice
Directions:
Heat skillet over medium heat
Coat skillet with olive oil
Scramble 2 eggs in one bowl
Put corn starch, salt, and pepper in another bowl
Dip chicken pieces in egg, then coat in corn starch mix
Cook in skillet until it is golden brown on both sides
*I had to cook the chicken one breast at a time as to not load down the skillet
Whisk sugar, ketchup, white vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic salt in another bowl.
Once all the chicken is cooked nicely, place in a dish roughly 9x9 and sprayed with PAM. Pour the sauce over chicken and mix. Cook 15 minutes then stir and cook an additional 15 minutes.
Serve over rice. I also made some broccoli to go along with it. Of course J had nothing to do with that ;).
