2.5 lbsboneless skinless chicken breasts

1 cupcornstarch

¼ cupvegetable oil

Instructions

Step 1

Cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Put the cornstarch in a shallow bowl. Put the eggs in a separate bowl. Place the oil in a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Working in batches, dredge the chicken in the cornstarch, then dip in the egg. Add to the hot oil and brown on all sides. You do not need to cook the chicken through, just brown the outside to get a crispy exterior. Transfer the chicken to a plate and continue with the remaining chicken.

Step 3

Place the rest of the ingredients, except for the cornstarch slurry, in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer for another minute until thickened, stirring constantly. If using red food coloring, stir it in.

Step 4

Serve chicken over rice. Drizzle over sweet and sour sauce.
