Crispy Baked Sweet & Sour Chicken with Bell Peppers
Enjoy a vibrant twist on a classic takeout favorite with this lighter, baked version. Tender, juicy chicken is coated in a crisp whole wheat panko crust and baked until golden, then tossed with sweet and tangy homemade sauce and colorful bell peppers for a burst of flavor and texture.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (170g)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper (150g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Panko Breadcrumbs (25g)
1/4 cup Pineapple Juice (60g)
1 tsp Rice Vinegar
1 tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Cornstarch
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and set aside.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, then season with salt and pepper.
Lightly coat the chicken pieces in whole wheat panko breadcrumbs. For extra crunch, you can mist them with a light spray of cooking oil if desired.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until cooked through and golden.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the sweet and sour sauce by whisking together pineapple juice, rice vinegar, low-sodium soy sauce, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat until it thickens slightly.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a serving bowl, toss in the bell pepper strips, and drizzle the warm sweet and sour sauce over the top.
Mix gently to combine all elements, then serve immediately.
