Chinese Sweet and Sour Chicken

Ingredients:

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves



Instructions:

Combine soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, cold water, ginger, garlic, and black pepper in a bowl.

Add chicken breasts to marinade and stir to coat.

Pour the marinade and chicken into a 9x9-inch square baking dish.

Cover and marinate chicken in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Bake chicken in marinade until meat is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 40 minutes, turning midway through cooking.
