I have a DELICIOUS recipe for you all! I am so excited to share this one. My family and I LOVE this dish! It has such a great flavor. You could probably trick your family into thinking you picked up some yummy Chinese food at a gourmet restaurant… It is that good, I promise!
I found the Fried Rice recipe on a website (don’t remember which one) but added my own little twist to it. I made this last night for dinner and I think we all ate it up within 10 minutes!

Delicious sweet and sour chicken baked in the oven. This recipe beats any take-out Chinese!
INGREDIENTS
