PANDA EXPRESS SWEET FIRE CHICKEN COPYCAT

A complete copycat version you can easily make right at home! And yes, it tastes a million times better (and healthier) than take-out!

Have you tried Panda Express’ sweet fire chicken yet? It’s a fairly new item but it’s quickly become a favorite. It has that amazing sweetness with just the right amount of spice to it. But just like every other entree item there, they always give you about 3 chicken bites and 8 pineapple pieces with each serving!

An easy homemade version that tastes so much better (and healthier) than take-out!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups diced pineapple, fresh or canned
• 1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce, or more, to taste
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• FOR THE CHICKEN
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into
• 1-inch chunks
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
2. Working one at a time, dredge chicken in flour, dip into eggs, then dredge in flour again, pressing to coat.
3. Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet, 3 or 4 at a time, and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bell pepper and pineapple and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in chicken and Thai sweet chili sauce until well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
5. Serve immediately, garnished with green onions.
