INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (~142g)
1/4 cup Almond Flour (~28g)
1 large Egg (~50g)
1/4 cup Orange Juice (~66g)
1/4 cup Pineapple Chunks (~82g)
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper (~60g)
1 tbsp Cornstarch (~8g)
1 tsp Rice Vinegar (~5g)
1 tsp Honey (~7g)
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg. In another bowl, combine almond flour with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Dip each chicken piece in the beaten egg and then coat evenly with almond flour.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
Meanwhile, prepare the sweet and sour sauce by combining orange juice, pineapple chunks, red bell pepper slices, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, rice vinegar, honey, and cornstarch in a small saucepan.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Once the chicken is baked, drizzle the sweet and sour sauce over the chicken pieces or serve it on the side for dipping.
Serve warm and enjoy this balanced, flavorful dish.
