INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 large Egg White
1/3 cup Pineapple Chunks
1/4 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1 tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Cornstarch
Olive Oil Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine the egg white with the whole wheat breadcrumbs to create a light coating mixture.
Toss the chicken pieces in the coating mixture until well-covered. Place them on the baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil.
Bake the chicken for 18-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the pineapple chunks, diced red bell pepper, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Bring to a simmer.
Mix the cornstarch with a small splash of water to create a slurry and add it to the sauce, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.
Once the chicken is baked, drizzle the sweet and sour sauce over the chicken pieces and toss gently to coat.
Serve warm and enjoy your healthier take on sweet and sour chicken!
