INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (~170g)
1 large Red Bell Pepper (~150g)
1/2 cup Pineapple Chunks (~82g)
2 tbsp Pineapple Juice (~30g)
1 tbsp Rice Vinegar (~15g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (~4.5g)
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper to create the sweet and sour sauce.
Place the chicken breast on a cutting board and gently score the surface, then lightly season with salt and pepper.
Dip the chicken into the sauce, ensuring it is evenly coated. For extra crispiness, allow it to marinate for 10 minutes.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the sliced red bell pepper and pineapple chunks around the chicken.
Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and toss gently to coat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and has a slightly crispy exterior, and the vegetables are neatly roasted.
Halfway through baking, spoon some of the remaining sauce over the chicken and vegetables for an extra boost of flavor.
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
