Crispy Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken with Roasted Bell Peppers
Enjoy a delicious twist on a classic with tender, baked chicken breast coated in a light, crispy whole wheat breadcrumb crust, drizzled with a tangy sweet and sour sauce, and paired with roasted bell peppers for vibrant color and flavor.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (170g)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper (120g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (20g)
1 tsp Cornstarch (3g)
2 tbsp Pineapple Juice (30g)
1 tsp Honey (7g)
1 tsp Rice Vinegar (5g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the red bell pepper into strips, drizzle with olive oil, and lightly season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, pat dry the chicken breast. In a shallow bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs with cornstarch for extra crispiness.
Lightly coat the chicken with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing it on to ensure it sticks well.
Place the coated chicken on a lightly greased baking rack over a baking sheet to allow for air circulation. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is crisp.
While the chicken bakes, whisk together pineapple juice, honey, and rice vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
Remove the chicken from the oven when done and drizzle the sweet and sour sauce over the crispy surface.
Plate the chicken alongside the roasted red bell peppers and serve immediately.
