Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken
This easy sweet and sour chicken is made healthier by baking the chicken rather than frying it. The chicken maintains its crispy exterior and is absolutely delicious. Plus, you can make the dish in about 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless chicken breast
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs, I recommend Kikkoman brand
- 2 eggs, whisked
for the sauce
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 3 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 Tbsp light sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 3 tsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut chicken into bite-sized cubes. Pour whisked eggs in a small bowl. Pour panko bread crumbs in another bowl. Coat chicken in egg and then in bread crumbs. Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all chicken is coated.
- Bake chicken for about 20 minutes until chicken is cooked and breadcrumbs turn golden brown.
- While chicken is cooking, make the sauce. In a small sauce pot on stove, add all ingredients except cornstarch and water. Bring to a low boil and stir with a large wooden spoon. Once sauce boils, completely dissolve cornstarch in water and then add to sauce. Let sauce cook until it thickens. Coat finished chicken in sauce. Garnish with parsley or green scallions if desired.
