SHEET PAN SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN



Sheet Pan Sweet and Sour Chicken image

Inspired by the flavors of our favorite Asian takeout, here's a recipe that uses canned pineapple tidbits, with the usual veggies. In order to make it sheet-pan friendly, the chicken is not breaded or fried. Add as much of the delicious sauce as you like, and if there is any left, store the sauce in the fridge in a sealed container, up to one week. It's also a great dipping sauce for Asian-style appetizers. Serve over hot steamed rice.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 (8 ounce) cans pineapple tidbits in juice
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 carrot, peeled and sliced diagonally
½ red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons avocado oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
water as needed
2 tablespoons cornstarch
½ cup light brown sugar
⅓ cup rice vinegar
3 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce
1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Drain pineapple tidbits and place juice into a 1-cup liquid measure. Place drained pineapple in a large mixing bowl; set aside.
  • Add bell peppers, carrot, and onion to the pineapple tidbits. Pour 2 tablespoons avocado oil over top and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir until coated with oil and seasoning, then spread in a single layer on a sheet pan. Place chicken into the same bowl, drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and nestle chicken pieces on the sheet pan between the pineapple and vegetable pieces.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add enough water to the reserved pineapple juice to make 1 cup liquid. Transfer 3 tablespoons of the liquid to a small bowl and add cornstarch. Stir with a fork or whisk until smooth.
  • Pour remaining liquid into a saucepan with brown sugar, rice vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, chile-garlic sauce, ginger-garlic paste, and white pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat. Slowly add cornstarch mixture, whisking briskly. Return to a boil and allow to thicken, whisking constantly, about 1 minute.
  • Drizzle chicken, pineapple, and vegetables with sauce to serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure that your chicken is cooked properly, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Make Sure Your Oil is Hot Enough: When frying the chicken, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken. This will help to create a crispy coating and prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When frying the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry and will result in soggy chicken.
  • Use a Wide Pan: When making the sweet and sour sauce, use a wide pan to allow for even cooking and to prevent the sauce from splattering.
  • Simmer the Sauce: After combining all of the ingredients for the sweet and sour sauce, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for at least 5 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Toast the Buns: Toasting the buns before serving will give them a slightly crispy texture and help to hold the sandwich together.

Conclusion:

The sweet and sour chicken sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its crispy chicken, tangy sweet and sour sauce, and soft bun, this sandwich is sure to be a hit with everyone.
