INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Pineapple Chunks
1/2 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/4 medium Onion
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Lightly coat the chicken breast with whole wheat breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken is baking, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the pineapple chunks, diced red bell pepper, and diced onion. Warm them until they are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Once the vegetables are softened, stir in a pinch more salt and pepper to enhance the sweet and sour flavor.
Remove the chicken from the oven, slice it, and toss gently with the warm sweet and sour vegetables and pineapple.
Serve immediately and enjoy a satisfying, flavorful meal that’s light yet packed with protein and vibrant taste.
