INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (170g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
2 large Egg Whites (66g)
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper, sliced (46g)
1/4 cup Pineapple Chunks (50g)
1/4 cup Onion, chopped (40g)
2 tbsp Tomato Paste (33g)
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Ginger (2g)
1 tbsp Cornstarch (8g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, whisk the egg whites. In a separate shallow dish, place the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg whites, then coat well with breadcrumbs, shaking off any excess.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray if desired.
Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and crispy, flipping halfway for even crispiness.
Meanwhile, prepare the sweet and sour sauce by combining tomato paste, pineapple chunks, sliced red bell pepper, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Stir in a few tablespoons of water to achieve desired consistency.
Simmer the sauce over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly, stirring frequently.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle the sweet and sour sauce over the crispy pieces. Serve immediately.
