Sweet-and-Sour Chicken

Serves: 6

Print this Recipe

We baked crumb-coated chicken in a very hot oven to keep the crispness of the original deep-fried recipe without the fat. Stir the crisp chicken into the sauce just before serving.


   1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves or thighs
   1 egg white
   1 teaspoon water
   2 tablespoons flour
   2 tablespoons crushed rice crackers, cornmeal or soft bread crumbs
   1/4 teaspoon baking soda
   1/4 cup cold water
   2 tablespoons cornstarch
   1 (8-ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice, drained and juice reserved
   1/2 cup sugar
   1/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar
   2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
   1 clove garlic, finely chopped
   1/4 teaspoon salt
   2 medium tomatoes, Roma (plum) cut into eighths
   1 medium green bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces


Cut chicken into 3/4-inch pieces. Mix egg white and 1 teaspoon water; toss with chicken in medium glass or plastic bowl. Let stand 10 minutes. Heat oven to 425°. Spray nonstick cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Mix flour, crushed crackers and baking soda in medium bowl. Remove chicken pieces from egg mixture; dip into flour mixture, turning to coat. Place chicken on cookie sheet; spray with cooking spray about 10 seconds or until surface of chicken appears moist. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, turning once, until brown and no longer pink in center. Mix 1/4 cup cold water and the cornstarch. Heat reserved pineapple juice, the sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and salt to boiling in nonstick wok or 12-inch skillet, stirring frequently. Stir in cornstarch mixture; cook and stir about 1 minute or until thickened. Add tomatoes, bell pepper and pineapple; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in chicken.

Healthy Hint:
Marinating chicken adds flavor and makes for juicy chicken. Marinate boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1 to 2 hours. Bone-in chicken pieces can be marinated up to 24 hours.
