Sauce:

Instructions

  • Add 1 ½ cups of uncooked rice to rice cooker. Cook according to package instructions. You can also cook on the stove.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut 1 lb chicken breast into small bite-size pieces.
  • Add 1 lb of chopped chicken breast to a bowl along with ¼ cup cornstarch and toss together. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl combine the sauce ingredients: ¾ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup tomato paste, ½ cup lemon juice, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix everything together and set aside.
  • Heat a frying pan (or oven-safe pot) with a bit of cooking oil on the stove. Once pan is hot, sear the chicken on each side for only 30 seconds. This is to help seal flavors in.
  • Remove from heat. Pour the sauce over the chicken and mix together. Transfer to an oven-safe dish if needed. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked. Stir the chicken halfway through baking.
  • Add cooked rice to a plate and top with the sweet and sour chicken. Optional toppings include green onion and sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!
