INGREDIENTS
7 oz Chicken Breast
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Pineapple Chunks
1/4 cup Red Bell Pepper, chopped
1/4 cup Onion, chopped
1 tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Rice Vinegar
1 tsp Honey
1 spray Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces ensuring even thickness.
In a small bowl, lightly whisk the egg white.
Place the whole wheat flour in another bowl. Dip each chicken piece first in the flour, then into the egg white ensuring a light, even coating.
Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is crisp and the chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the sweet and sour sauce by combining the pineapple chunks, red bell pepper, onion, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey in a small saucepan. Simmer on medium heat for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly and the flavors meld.
Once the chicken is done, drizzle the homemade sweet and sour sauce over the crispy pieces or serve it on the side for dipping.
Garnish with additional chopped vegetables if desired, and serve immediately.
