CHINESE SWEET and SOUR CHICKEN


½ cup soy sauce
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup vinegar
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp. water
1-1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, crushed
¼ tsp. black pepper

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

Add chicken breast 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.

Bake chicken in marinade until meat is longer pink in the center and juices run clear about 40 minutes, turning mid way through cooking.
