This is one recipe that I have made when entertaining guests, and it is always a hit… so make extra!
Sweet n Sour Chicken
Here is what you need for the chicken marinade:
1/2 C. brown sugar
1 clove garlic
3/4 C. vinegar
1/4 C. Soy sauce
1/2 C. water
2 tbl. cornstarch
1 clove garlic
3/4 C. vinegar
1/4 C. Soy sauce
1/2 C. water
2 tbl. cornstarch
(Not pictured)
1 lb Chicken breasts ( I use boneless)
Broccoli (fresh is best)
Rice to serve 4
Step 1: Mix all ingredients and pour over chicken in 9 x 13 baking dish
Step 2: Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, turning halfway through.
Step 3: While chicken is cooking, steam broccoli and rice.
Step 4: Serve chicken and broccoli over rice. We like to pour extra sauce over the rice and broccoli too. 
This is a great, filling meal that is very simple and frugal!
