Enjoy a light yet satisfying twist on a classic takeout favorite!

The result is a dish that’s both delightfully crispy and bursting with tangy flavors.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
1/4 cup Almond Flour (28g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1 tbsp Pineapple Juice
1 tsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp Honey
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper slices (75g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and place it between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound it gently to an even thickness.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour. In another bowl, beat the egg.
Dip the chicken breast first in the egg, then coat evenly with almond flour.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray if desired.
Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
While the chicken bakes, in a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, low-sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Warm over medium heat, stirring frequently until slightly thickened into a sweet and sour sauce.
Remove the chicken from the oven and drizzle the sauce evenly over the top. Scatter the red bell pepper slices around the chicken for added color and crunch.
Let the dish rest for a couple of minutes before serving, ensuring the sauce is well absorbed and the flavors meld together.
