Crispy Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken
Enjoy a delicious twist on classic sweet and sour chicken without deep-frying. Tender chicken breast is coated in a light, crispy crust made from panko breadcrumbs and egg whites, then baked to perfection. The dish is finished with a tangy homemade sweet and sour glaze featuring pineapple chunks, red bell pepper, and a hint of sugar, all served over a side of fluffy brown rice.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (15g)
2 large Egg Whites (66g)
1/4 cup Pineapple Chunks (40g)
1/4 cup Red Bell Pepper (38g)
1 tsp Granulated Sugar (4g)
1 tsp Rice Vinegar (5g)
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder (1.5g)
1 pinch Salt (0.5g)
1/2 cup Cooked Brown Rice (100g)
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. Place them in a bowl and season lightly with salt and garlic powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites. In another shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each piece of chicken first into the egg whites, then coat evenly with panko breadcrumbs.
Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking oil if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the sweet and sour glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine pineapple chunks, red bell pepper, granulated sugar, rice vinegar, and a splash of water. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. For a smoother sauce, you can blend the mixture.
Once the chicken is done, toss it in the warm glaze until well coated.
Serve the crispy sweet and sour chicken over a bed of cooked brown rice and enjoy.
