I was looking on the Deseret Book email newsletter this morning and they were advertising a new Cookbook called "Worldwide Ward Cookbook". They had a sample recipe posted which was similar to a recipe Christi has for Sweet & Sour chicken legs. It was sent in by Linda Robinson from the Buenos Aires mission. (I'm sure it is the same Linda Robinson we know) She had this to say about it. "We spend a lot of time feeding the missionaries so I asked one Elder if there was anything special he would like. He asked if I knew how to make the "Little Pink Chicken" and I told him I would call his mother & find out. She gave me the recipe and it has been a favorite of ours ever since" Here it is:

LITTLE PINK CHICKEN (Sweet & Sour)

2 large chicken breasts
1/2 tsp garlic salt
cornstarch
1 egg beaten with 1 tsp water
1 C sugar
1/3 C vinegar
1/3 C ketchup
1/4 C chicken broth
1 tsp salt
2 T soy sauce
Cut chicken in pieces & sprinkle with garlic salt. Let sit 1 hour. Dip in cornstarch, then beaten egg. Fry in hot oil until brown. Place in casserole dish. Combine sugar, vinegar, ketchup, chicken broth, salt & soy sauce. Microwave 5 min., stirring half way through. Pour over chicken & bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Serve over rice.

We had it for supper tonight and it was delicious. Your dad said, "MMM, this is good enough to have for Sunday dinner!" So there you have it!
