INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (15g)
1 large Egg White (33g)
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper (50g)
1/4 cup Pineapple Juice (60g/ml)
1 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce (16g)
1 tsp Honey (7g)
1 tbsp Rice Vinegar (15g)
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder (2.8g)
1/2 tsp Ginger Powder (1.8g)
3 sprays Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces or strips for even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg white. In another bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs along with garlic powder and ginger powder.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg white, then coat thoroughly with the panko mixture.
Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the chicken with olive oil spray to encourage a crispy finish.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crisp. Flip the pieces halfway through for even crisping.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the sweet and sour sauce by combining pineapple juice, low sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and thinly sliced red bell pepper in a small saucepan.
Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Allow it to reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes, until it thickens marginally.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle the warm sweet and sour sauce over the crispy pieces or serve on the side as a dipping sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of sweet, tangy, and crispy flavors.
