Sweet and Sour Chicken

Batter: 
1 egg
½ cup flour
2 Tbsp. corn starch
1 Tbsp. oil
1 ½ tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. soda
about ½ cup water
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2” pieces

Cut chicken into chunks. Dip chicken into batter. Drop pieces individually in hot oil. Fry until golden brown and floating. Drain on paper towel. Keep warm in a 250 degree oven until ready to serve. 

Sauce:
                1 can (20 oz.) pineapple chunks
                1 cup water
                1/2 cup vinegar
                3/4 tbsp. sugar
                1/8 tsp salt
                1/2 cup ketchup
                3 tbsp cornstarch
                1/4 cup water
                1/2 small onion
                1 small bell pepper
                2 stalks of celery
Combine pineapple juice, 1 cup water, vinegar, sugar, salt, and ketchup. Bring to a boil. Thicken sauce with cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup water, stirring constantly. When sauce has a clear appearance, add vegetables and pineapple. Remove from fire and cover. Vegetables will cook just right by the time you serve. Just before serving, add the cooked chicken pieces. Serve with rice.

Jello cake

1 white cake mix, prepared as directed
2 boxes strawberry jello
2 ½ cups water, divided
