Sweet and Sour Chicken

I am trying out some new recipes to find some more that I really like to add to my favorites. I am pretty sure this one is it. I found it in our Payson Ward Cookbook. I Love those ward cookbooks.

Ingredients:
3 lb. chicken breasts
1 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 beaten egg
4 to 6 Tbsp. cornstarch or flour
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. vinegar
1/2 c. chicken stock
1/4 c. catsup
1 Tbsp. soy sauce

Sprinkle chicken with garlic salt and pepper. Let stand for one hour or more. (This is what it said in the recipe and she probably meant in the fridge, but I skipped this step.) Preheat oven to 325. Dip chicken in beaten egg, then in cornstarch or flour. Brown in hot oil. (I added some pepper and garlic salt while cooking). Drain. Place in baking dish. Cover with the following sauce: Mix sugar, vinegar, chicken stock, catsup, and soy sauce in saucepan and heat. Pour over chicken. Bake uncovered for 1 hour. Turn chicken once or twice. Makes 6 servings.

**This really is good and I made it with white rice and veggies. It has been a while since I had white rice. The kids gobbled up everything. My friend laurel uses ground white beans instead of flour or cornstarch. I think I will try that next time I make this. I didn't have alot of success using the bean flour making a gravy, but it definitely is a healthier substitute to the flour or cornstarch.

Pomegranate Syrup

  4 cups pomegranate juice 1/2 cup sugar (I'm trying this with stevia to be more paleo friendly) 1 tablespoon freshly squeeze lemon juice   Place the pomegranate juice, sugar and lemon juice in a 4-quart saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the mixture has reduced to 1 1/2 cups, approximately 50 minutes. It should be the consistency of syrup. Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the saucepan for 30 minutes. Transfer to a glass jar and allow to cool completely before covering and storing in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

Biscuits with Sausage Gravy

Ingredients: 1 pound breakfast sausage, hot or mild 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 3 to 4 cups whole milk, more to taste 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, more to taste biscuits, warmed, for serving Directions: With your finger, tear small pieces of sausage and add them in a single layer to a large heavy skillet. Brown the sausage over medium-heat to medium-low. Sprinkle on half the flour and stir so that the sausage soaks it all up, then add more little by little. Stir it around and cook it for another minute or so, then pour in the milk, stirring constantly. Cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens. (This may take a good 10 to 12 minutes.) Sprinkle in the seasoned salt and pepper and continue until very thick and luscious. If it gets too thick too soon, just splash in another 1/2 cup of milk or more if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Spoon the sausage gravy over the warm biscuits and serve immediately!
