INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1 large Egg White
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 medium Green Bell Pepper
1/4 small Onion
1/4 cup Pineapple Chunks
2 tablespoons Pineapple Juice
1 tablespoon Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger, minced
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment with olive oil if desired.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, whisk together the egg white, cornstarch, and panko breadcrumbs until well combined.
Toss the chicken pieces in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
Spread the coated chicken evenly on the baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and crispy, flipping halfway through baking.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the sweet and sour sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine pineapple juice, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and fresh ginger. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 3-4 minutes.
In a separate pan, lightly sauté the sliced red and green bell peppers, diced onion, and pineapple chunks for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a large bowl and drizzle with the warm sweet and sour sauce. Gently toss to combine.
Fold in the sautéed vegetables and pineapple chunks, ensuring everything is well distributed.
Serve immediately, enjoying the burst of tangy, savory, and slightly sweet flavors with every bite.
