Crispy Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken
Enjoy a vibrant twist on a classic favorite with this Crispy Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken. Tender, juicy chicken breast is coated in a light whole wheat panko and egg white mixture before being baked to a perfect crisp. A tangy-sweet sauce made from pineapple chunks and a cornstarch slurry ties the dish together, while fresh red bell pepper and a sprinkle of sesame seeds add a burst of color and flavor.
INGREDIENTS
1 piece (150g) Chicken Breast, Boneless Skinless
1 large Egg White (33g)
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Panko Bread Crumbs (15g)
1/4 cup Pineapple Chunks (40g)
1 tsp Cornstarch (3g)
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper slices (75g)
1 tsp Sesame Seeds (3g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breast into uniform strips or bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg white. In another plate, spread the whole wheat panko bread crumbs.
Dip each chicken piece first in the egg white, then coat generously in the panko breadcrumbs.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, and arrange the red bell pepper slices around them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and the coating is crispy.
Meanwhile, to create the sweet and sour sauce, blend the pineapple chunks with the teaspoon of cornstarch. If needed, add a splash of water to achieve a smooth consistency.
Once the chicken is done, drizzle the pineapple sauce over the baked chicken pieces and garnish with sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful twist on a classic dish.
