Baked Sweet & Sour Chicken

This recipe comes from Mandi, a girl I met when I was in high school and living in Arizona. We are now both Texans.

She's a healthy eater--you can read her blog. She posts recipes and this was looked super yummy. We tried it and everyone in our family gave it a thumbs up! (I will admit I added probably 1/4 c. brown sugar because I didn't think it was sweet enough. So, I did "adjust it" just a little.)
