INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (skinless, boneless)
1/4 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
1/4 cup Pineapple Chunks (drained)
1 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
1 tsp Soy Sauce
1 tsp Cornstarch
1 Green Onion (optional garnish)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Pound the chicken breast lightly if needed to ensure even thickness. Pat dry with paper towels.
Dredge the chicken breast in the panko bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the surface.
Place the breaded chicken on the baking sheet. Lightly spray or drizzle a minimal amount of oil over the top to help with crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating is golden and crispy.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the sweet and sour sauce. In a small saucepan, combine pineapple chunks, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Warm over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
Once the chicken is baked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the warm sweet and sour sauce evenly over the top.
Garnish with sliced green onion if using, and serve immediately.
