INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Chicken Breast
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup Pineapple Chunks
1/4 cup Pineapple Juice
1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tablespoon Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger, minced
1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and crispy.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, low sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce slightly for about 5 minutes to form the sweet and sour sauce.
Once the chicken is nearly done, add sliced red bell pepper and pineapple chunks to the baking sheet for the last 5 minutes of baking to soften them slightly while retaining some crunch.
Remove the chicken and vegetables from the oven and drizzle the warm sweet and sour sauce over them. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Finish by drizzling a teaspoon of sesame oil over the dish for a rich, nutty flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your crisp and tangy meal.
