Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces

1/2 cup cornstarch

2 large eggs, beaten

1/4 cup vegetable oil

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 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Toss the chicken pieces in cornstarch, making sure they’re evenly coated, then dip each piece into the beaten eggs.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until it’s golden brown on all sides (about 3-4 minutes, no need to cook fully). Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking dish.
In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic powder, and salt until smooth.
Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken in the baking dish.
Bake, uncovered, for 45-50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure the chicken is fully coated and cooked through.
Serve over rice and garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
