Sweet and Sour Chicken

I like to try cooking new things. This was a bit of a stretch for me...I was a little bit anxious about the sauce. Haha. It worked out well, though. I was relatively impressed. Away we go.

Ingredients:
For Chicken:
Chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces.
Flour, for dredging
Egg, Milk, for dredging
Oil, for shallow frying

Rice

For Sauce:
1/3 cup rice vinegar (use white if you don't have rice)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
2 teaspoons corn starch
4 teaspoons water

Directions:
Cook the rice according to package directions. Set aside. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour, then the egg/milk mixture, then the flour again. Fry in the oil in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through, flipping once. Drain on paper towels.

In a sauce pan, mix together the vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, and pineapple juice. Bring it to a boil. Mix together the corn starch and water, then add to the pot. This will thicken the sauce. Reduce heat and make sure everything is mixed well, then remove from heat. This will not be the bright red you'd find in a restaurant, but those are colored with food coloring.

Serve the chicken over the rice, then pour sauce over the chicken. Enjoy!
