Baked Sweet & Sour Chicken

I found this recipe over at The Recipe Critic.  I have made it twice.  I really liked it and so did the rest of the family.

Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken

3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cup cornstarch
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup canola oil
1 cup sugar
4 tbsp ketchup
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp garlic salt

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.  In separate bowls, place cornstarch and slightly beaten eggs.  Dip chicken into cornstarch then coat in egg mixture.

Heat oil in a large skillet over med-high heat and cook chicken until browned.  Place the chicken in a 9X13 greased baking dish.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic salt.  Pour over chicken and bake for 1 hour.

Crispy Cheddar Chicken

A friend of mine sent me this recipe.  I am not sure where it came from but I tried it tonight and it was a really good recipe.

Crispy Cheddar Chicken
4 large chicken breast (about 2 lbs)
2 sleeves Ritz Crackers
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 cup milk
3 cups cheddar cheese; grated
1 tsp dried parsley

Sauce:
10 oz Cream of Chicken Soup
2 tbsp sour cream
2 tbsp butter

Crush crackers.  Pour the milk, cheese and cracker crumbs into 3 separate small pans.  Toss the salt and pepper in to the cracker crumbs and stir the mixture around to combine.  Dip each piece of chicken into the milk and then the cheese.  Press the cheese into the chicken with your fingers.  Then press the cheesy coated chicken into the cracker crumbs and press it in.

Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and lay the chicken inside the pan.  Sprinkle the dried parsley over the chicken.  Cover the pan with foil and bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes.  Remove the foil, bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the edges of the chicken are golden brown and crispy.

In a medium sized sauce pan, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream and butter with a whisk.  Stir over medium heat until sauce is nice and hot.  Serve over the chicken.
