Makes 6 Servings. Each serving: 358 calories; 38C/2F/45P & 5g Fiber
Ingredients
- 1 kg Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast, cubed
- ¼ cup Egg Whites
- ¾ cup Whole Wheat Flour
- ¼ cup Soya Sauce
- ¼ cup Rice Vinegar
- ½ cup No Sugar Added Ketchup
- ¼ cup Sugar Substitute (I used Truvia)
- 2 tsp Minced Ginger
- 1 tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch or 1 tsp Xantham Gum
- 2 Bell Peppers, chopped
- 1 Small Onion, chopped
- 1 can Crushed Pineapple, drained
- ¼ cup Water
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
-
Place the flour in a shallow dish and the egg whites in another shallow dish.
-
Dip each piece of chicken into the flour, coating it evenly, then dip it into the egg whites.
-
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and spray it with cooking spray.
-
Add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are browned and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the cooked chicken and set it aside.
-
In a separate saucepan, combine all the sweet and sour sauce ingredients: ketchup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar substitute, minced garlic, ginger, water, and cornstarch/Xantham Gum. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, which should take about 3-4 minutes. Once it thickens, remove it from heat.
-
In a large baking dish, combine the cooked chicken, bell peppers, onion, and pineapple chunks. Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the top and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
-
Cover the baking dish with tin foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, and the vegetables are tender.

Enjoy over cauliflower rice, or a blend of both!
