INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
1 large Egg White
1/2 cup Pineapple Chunks
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 tsp Honey
1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces or strips for even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg white. In another bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs with garlic powder and a pinch of salt.
Dip each chicken piece first into the egg white, then coat thoroughly in the seasoned panko mixture.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crisping.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the sweet and sour sauce by combining pineapple chunks, sliced red bell pepper, honey, and rice vinegar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until warmed and slightly thickened.
Once the chicken is crispy and fully cooked, remove from the oven and drizzle the warm sweet and sour sauce over the chicken, or serve on the side for dipping.
Garnish with extra pineapple or sliced peppers if desired, and serve immediately.
