INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (approx. 142g)
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (approx. 15g)
1 large Egg White (approx. 33g)
1/4 cup Pineapple Chunks (approx. 41g)
1 tsp Rice Vinegar
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Sesame Oil
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white along with the rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.
Dip each piece of chicken breast into the egg white mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge in the panko breadcrumbs until evenly covered.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or drizzle a bit more sesame oil over the chicken to help with browning.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy. Optionally, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crunch.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the sweet and sour glaze by gently warming the pineapple chunks in a small saucepan. Stir occasionally to slightly break down the fruit. Adjust seasoning with a sprinkle of salt and extra honey if desired.
Once the chicken is done, drizzle the warm pineapple glaze over the crispy chicken or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce. Enjoy your well-balanced, crispy baked sweet and sour chicken!
