Sweet n' Sour Chicken

3 pounds chicken breasts (approx. 16 chicken tenders)
1 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 beaten egg
6 Tblsp. flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup chicken stock
3 1/2 Tblsp. ketchup
1 Tblsp. soy sauce

Cut up chicken, sprinkle with garlic salt & pepper.  Let stand for one hour or more.  It's almost always too late for me to do this by the time I'm trying to cook dinner, but it still tastes good if you don't let it sit for this amount of time.  The flavor is more strong if you do.  Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Dip chicken pieces in beaten egg, then get it good & covered with flour.  Brown in hot oil.  Place in greased baking dish.  Mix sugar, vinegar, chicken stock, ketchup and soy sauce in a saucepan.  Heat & pour over chicken.  Bake uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour.  Serve over hot, cooked rice.

Another recipe from The Recipe Society.  This dinner was sooooooooooo YUMMY!!!!!  If you're ever craving Chinese, but don't want to pay the price for it, this is a recipe I've found that tastes just as good (if not better!) than the sweet n' sour chicken that you can order from any Chinese restaurant.  Tyler raved about this dinner.  He's never been so excited to take leftovers with him to work the next day for lunch!  :)  You have GOT to try this, especially if you love Chinese food!!!
