Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 1 lb chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces, boneless, skinless
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- ½ cup whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour
- 2 egg beaten, large
For the Sweet and Sour Sauce:
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup pineapple juice or orange juice, unsweetened
- 1 tbsp honey adjust to taste, or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- 1 tbsp cornstarch for thickening, mixed with 2 tablespoons water
Vegetables (Optional):
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup pineapple chunks fresh or canned in juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in whole wheat flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with more flour.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the apple cider vinegar, pineapple juice, honey or maple syrup, coconut aminos, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Thicken the Sauce: Add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the Vegetables: If using, add the chopped bell pepper, broccoli florets, and pineapple chunks to the sauce. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Combine and Serve: Finally, return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the sweet and sour sauce. Serve warm over brown rice or quinoa.
