INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 large Egg White
1/2 cup Pineapple Chunks
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper (diced)
1/2 cup Onion (diced)
1 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Rice Vinegar
1/2 tsp Cornstarch
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces or strips.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg white. In a separate bowl, place the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Dip each piece of chicken first in the egg white and then coat it evenly with the breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded chicken pieces on the baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes or until cooked through and lightly crispy.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the sweet and sour sauce by combining pineapple chunks, diced red bell pepper, diced onion, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch in a small saucepan.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring frequently.
Once the chicken is baked, toss in the sauce until all pieces are evenly coated.
Serve immediately, enjoying the crispy texture combined with the tangy, sweet, and savory flavor profile.
