Baked Sweet & Sour Chicken

I have a soft spot for Chinese. Unfortunately my husband does not share that soft spot. I've been craving Chinese for a while and I haven't been able to con anyone into going and eating with me.

So my plan attack goes something like this. Find a recipe online, attempt new recipe, don't tell husband it's anything to do with Chinese and see how it goes.

It went great!! He was a little skeptical when he looked at it. I forced him to try it because at this point he figured out it was Chinese. He tried and it and even liked it! I was a happy camper as after a while there is so only so many meat and potato dishes you can come up with.

This recipe does take a little bit of time so be aware of that! It's perfect served with Fried Rice!
