INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast, boneless and skinless
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Pineapple Chunks
1/4 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1 tbsp White Vinegar
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Cornstarch
1 clove Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-size pieces ensuring uniformity for even baking.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg. In another, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each chicken piece in the beaten egg then coat evenly with panko breadcrumbs.
Place the coated chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the sweet and sour sauce. In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar, honey, pineapple chunks, diced red bell pepper, and minced garlic.
Mix the cornstarch with a small amount of water to form a slurry, then add it to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Once the chicken is baked, transfer it to a bowl and drizzle the warm sauce over it, tossing gently to ensure every piece is coated.
Serve immediately while hot for a crispy, tangy meal.
