INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Pineapple Chunks
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
1/4 cup Red Onion (sliced)
2 tbsp Panko Breadcrumbs
1 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
1/2 tbsp Cornstarch
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 and season with salt and pepper.
Lightly coat the chicken pieces in panko breadcrumbs; you can press the crumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, rice vinegar, and cornstarch until fully combined. Stir in the pineapple chunks to infuse the sauce with extra flavor.
Arrange the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet, and scatter the red bell pepper slices and red onion around the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through to ensure even crisping.
After 20 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and drizzle the prepared sweet and sour mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce sets and the chicken is crispy.
Serve immediately and enjoy this healthy twist on sweet and sour chicken.
