Crispy Sweet-Sour Chicken with Roasted Butternut Squash
Enjoy a balanced plate featuring a lightly crispy chicken breast tossed in a tangy sweet-sour glaze paired with tender roasted butternut squash. The dish offers a delightful mix of textures and flavors, from the crunch of the panko coating to the softness of the roasted squash, all enhanced by a bright, fruity sauce.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cubed Butternut Squash
0.25 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1 large Egg White
2 tbsp Pineapple Juice
1 tsp Rice Vinegar
1 tsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper, and spread it evenly on a baking sheet.
Place the squash in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring once halfway through.
While the squash roasts, prepare the chicken. In a shallow dish, whisk the egg white. Spread the panko breadcrumbs on another plate.
Dip the chicken breast first in the egg white, then coat evenly with the panko breadcrumbs to create a crispy layer.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with cooking spray. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden, then finish cooking in the oven (if needed) for another 5 minutes until cooked through.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine pineapple juice, rice vinegar, and low sodium soy sauce. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
Remove the chicken from the heat, and drizzle the sweet-sour sauce over the chicken pieces.
Plate the crispy sweet-sour chicken with a generous serving of roasted butternut squash. Serve immediately and enjoy.
