INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (~140g)
1/4 cup Whole-Wheat Breadcrumbs (~30g)
1 large Egg White (~33g)
1/4 cup Pineapple Chunks (~40g)
1/4 cup Red Bell Pepper (~30g)
1/4 cup Red Onion (~40g)
1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breast into smaller pieces or keep as a whole piece based on preference. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, combine the whole-wheat breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In another bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg white, then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crisp.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the sweet and sour sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the pineapple chunks, red bell pepper, red onion, and apple cider vinegar. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly and the flavors meld. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and a little black pepper if desired.
Once the chicken is ready, drizzle the sweet and sour sauce over the crispy pieces or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of tangy, sweet flavors paired with the crispy, baked chicken.
