This recipe is super easy to make, perfect for meal prep, and boasts a whopping 50g of protein per serving, all while staying under 500 calories! Ingredients: 800g chicken breast, black pepper, 60ml soy sauce, 1 egg, 40g cornflour, 80ml water, 2 tbsp low-cal ketchup, 3 tbsp Gochujang paste, 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar, 2 tbsp honey, and 30g brown stevia. Equipment: large bowl, baking rack, and a pan. Preparation: First, dice your chicken breast into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, season your chicken with black pepper and soy sauce, then crack in one egg and mix well until every piece is coated. Next, in a separate large container, add the cornflour. Add your marinated chicken to the container, seal it, and shake vigorously until each piece is fully covered in cornflour. Arrange the chicken on a baking rack, give it a light spray of oil, and either oven bake at 210°C for 10-14 minutes or air fry at 200°C for 10-12 minutes, until golden and crispy. While the chicken is cooking, let's prepare the irresistible Korean glaze! In a pan, combine soy sauce, water, low-cal ketchup, Gochujang paste, rice wine vinegar, honey, and brown stevia. Stir the mixture over medium heat until it thickens to a rich glaze. Once your chicken is perfectly cooked and crispy, add it to the pan with the glaze. Toss until every piece is gloriously coated in the sweet and spicy sauce. Serve immediately with sticky rice, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds for an extra burst of flavour and visual appeal. Divide the Korean Popcorn Chicken into four equal servings alongside sticky rice, and you're all set for a delicious and healthy meal prep! Enjoy!
