Crispy Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken
Enjoy a delicious twist on classic sweet and sour chicken with a crispy baked coating. Tender chicken breast is lightly breaded with panko and egg whites, then baked until perfectly golden. A homemade sweet and sour sauce featuring pineapple juice, low-sodium soy sauce and fresh garlic and ginger gives this dish its tangy, vibrant flavor, complemented by crisp bell peppers and onions for added crunch.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Pineapple Juice
1 tsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Cornstarch
1/2 medium Bell Pepper
1/4 small Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a small bowl, whisk the egg white.
Place the chicken pieces in the egg white, then toss them in the panko breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray with cooking spray to help promote crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the sweet and sour sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine pineapple juice, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch mixed with a splash of water. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Meanwhile, slice the bell pepper and onion into thin strips.
Once the chicken is cooked, toss it with the freshly prepared sauce and add the bell pepper and onion strips for a burst of color and crunch. Serve immediately.
