INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Pineapple Chunks
1/2 medium Bell Pepper
1/4 medium Red Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp White Vinegar
1 tbsp Low-Sugar Ketchup
1 tsp Cornstarch
1 tsp Sesame Seeds
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white. In another small bowl, place the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Dip the chicken breast (sliced into medallions for quicker and even cooking) into the egg white, then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly crispy.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the sweet and sour sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic with the chopped red onion until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes).
Add the diced bell pepper and pineapple chunks to the pan, stirring occasionally.
Mix the white vinegar, low-sugar ketchup, and cornstarch (dissolved in a small amount of water) together, then pour into the saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a serving plate and drizzle the warm sweet and sour sauce over the top.
Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and serve immediately.
