Skinny Sweet and Sour Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• ¾ cup cornstarch
• 3 egg whites
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• ¼ cup Stevia® (or your favorite sweetener)
• ¼ cup reduced-sugar ketchup
• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tsp garlic salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces.
4. Place cornstarch in a gallon-sized Ziploc® bag. Put the chicken into the bag and seal, tossing to coat the chicken.
5. Whisk egg whites in a shallow bowl. Dip the cornstarch-coated chicken pieces in the egg.
6. Place the coated chicken pieces in a single layer in the hot skillet.
7. Cook for 1-2 minutes and then flip each piece over to cook on the other side until nicely golden brown, but not cooked all the way through.
8. Place browned chicken pieces in a baking dish.
9. Mix the Stevia, ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce and garlic salt together in a medium bowl and pour over the chicken in the baking dish.
10. Bake for 1 hour, turning the chicken once or twice while cooking to coat evenly with sauce.
11. Warning: the vinegar smell during the beginning of the baking time is scary. I promise you it does not taste like it smells while cooking.
