INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Chicken Breast (156g)
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (~30g)
1/4 cup Pineapple Juice
1 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
1 Tbsp Ketchup
1 tsp Brown Sugar
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized strips or small pieces for even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, add the whole wheat breadcrumbs seasoned lightly with salt and pepper.
Coat the chicken pieces evenly in the breadcrumbs. For extra adhesion, you can lightly mist the chicken with water or use a minimal egg wash if desired.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the sweet and sour sauce by combining pineapple juice, rice vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small saucepan.
Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a serving bowl and drizzle the warm sweet and sour sauce over it, ensuring each piece is nicely coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy your light, flavorful, crispy baked sweet and sour chicken.
