INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (~170g)
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (~15g)
1/4 cup Orange Juice (~60g)
1 tbsp Honey (~21g)
1 tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce (~15g)
1 tsp Cornstarch (~3g)
1/2 tsp Sesame Oil (~2.5g)
1 tsp Sesame Seeds (~3g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Dredge the chicken pieces in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
Place the breaded chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.
Air-fry the chicken for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the exterior is golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the orange sauce by whisking together the orange juice, honey, low-sodium soy sauce, and cornstarch in a small saucepan.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a mixing bowl and drizzle with the warm orange sauce.
Toss gently to coat the chicken evenly.
Finish by drizzling with sesame oil and sprinkling sesame seeds over the top before serving.
