Crispy Baked Orange Chicken
Enjoy a modern twist on a takeout classic with tender, juicy chicken pieces enveloped in a light, crispy panko coating and tossed in a zesty, tangy orange sauce. This baked version delivers a satisfying crunch and bold citrus flavor while keeping the meal lean and balanced.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/3 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1 Egg White
1/3 cup Orange Juice (Unsweetened)
1 tsp Orange Zest
1 tbsp Cornstarch
1 tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 tsp Fresh Ginger (minced)
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
2 tbsp Green Onion (for garnish)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a shallow bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs. In another bowl, whisk the egg white to create a thin coating.
Dip each chicken piece first into the egg white, then coat thoroughly in the panko breadcrumbs.
Arrange the coated chicken pieces evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crisp, turning once halfway.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the orange sauce by combining the orange juice, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, orange zest, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Once the chicken is done baking, remove it from the oven and toss the crispy pieces in the warm orange sauce until well-coated.
Transfer the sauced chicken to a serving dish, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately.
