INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (170g)
1/4 cup Panko Bread Crumbs (15g)
1 large Egg White (33g)
1/2 cup Fresh Orange Juice (130g)
1 tsp Honey (7g)
1 tsp Cornstarch (3g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
1 tsp Fresh Ginger (2g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces or strips, ensuring even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, beat the egg white until slightly frothy. In another shallow dish, add the panko bread crumbs.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg white, then coat evenly with panko bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crisp.
Meanwhile, prepare the orange glaze by combining the fresh orange juice, honey, and minced garlic and ginger in a small saucepan.
Sprinkle the cornstarch into the mixture and whisk well to avoid any lumps.
Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Once the chicken is baked, drizzle the warm orange glaze over the pieces or toss gently in a large bowl to coat evenly.
Serve immediately, enjoying the perfect harmony of crispy, tender chicken with a tangy, sweet citrus finish.
