Crispy Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken
Enjoy a healthier twist on a classic takeout favorite with this Crispy Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken. Tender chicken breast is lightly coated in whole wheat breadcrumbs for a satisfying crunch, then baked to perfection and drizzled with a tangy, homemade sweet and sour sauce, accented with vibrant bell peppers for extra color and nutrients.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/2 large Egg
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 tbsp Pineapple Juice
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly coat the sheet with cooking spray.
In a shallow bowl, beat the half egg. In another shallow dish, place the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the sweet and sour sauce by combining pineapple juice, honey, low-sodium soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan. Heat gently over low heat for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Dice the red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces and stir into the sauce once removed from the heat.
Drizzle the sweet and sour sauce over the baked chicken or serve it on the side for dipping. Enjoy your meal!
