INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Unsweetened Pineapple Juice
1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp Cornstarch
1 tsp Sesame Oil
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces ensuring even sizes for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white lightly. In a separate bowl, mix whole wheat breadcrumbs with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Dip each chicken piece first in the egg white, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Place the coated chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly drizzle with sesame oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is crisp and cooked through, flipping halfway for even crispiness.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the sweet and sour sauce: in a small saucepan, combine unsweetened pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, and cornstarch. Whisk to dissolve the cornstarch.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly, then remove from heat.
Once the chicken is done, drizzle the sweet and sour sauce over the crispy chicken pieces or serve on the side as a dipping sauce.
Garnish with extra pepper or a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired, and enjoy your meal!
