My good friend Ashley and her husband Jason have had us over to their house for dinner on numerous occasions over the past few years and at one of our first dinner parties she made the most delicious chicken.  I'd have to say one of my favorites.  It is a little time consuming to make but is so worth it in the end.  So to all who dare try this recipe - enjoy!

Coating for chicken:

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp table salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 egg (dip chicken in the egg prior to coating with flour mixture)

Sauce:

• 3 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 3 Tbsp water
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 1/2 tsp table salt
• 4 cooked, skinless chicken breast(s), cubed

Coat chicken chunks in flour mixture. Fry in margarine until no longer pink. Dip chicken in egg before flour mixture. Mix sauce together and add fried chicken to it. Cook at 350 for 30 minutes occasionally spooning sauce over chicken.

We had dinner with our neighbors Ryan and Lisa a couple of weeks ago.  They cooked an awesome meal and we decided to try making it ourselves with a couple of added ingredients.  What makes the meal is definately the cornbread topping.  I find it hard to get really great tasting crock pot meals...I'm happy to have come across this recipe from our  friends.  Thanks guys!

These are so yummy especially when they’re fresh out of the oven.  Nuke them in the microwave for a few seconds if they’re a couple of days old.
