INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast, skinless
1 large Egg
1/3 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Pineapple Chunks
1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
1 tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Brown Sugar
2 Scallions
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces ensuring even sizes for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg. In another bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each chicken piece first into the egg, letting any excess drip off, then coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the sweet and sour sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the diced red bell pepper, pineapple chunks, rice vinegar, low-sodium soy sauce, and brown sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and stir occasionally for about 5 minutes until flavors meld.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a bowl and pour the warm sweet and sour sauce over it. Toss gently to evenly coat.
Garnish with sliced scallions and serve immediately.
