INGREDIENTS
1 piece (5 oz) Chicken Breast (142g)
1/4 cup Almond Flour (28g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice (60g)
1 tsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce (5g)
1 tsp Honey (7g)
1 tsp Cornstarch (3g)
1 tsp Orange Zest (2g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces ensuring even sizes for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour to serve as your coating.
In another bowl, lightly beat the egg as a wash for the chicken.
Dip each chicken piece first into the egg, then dredge in almond flour until evenly coated.
Place the coated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
Meanwhile, prepare the orange sauce by mixing the fresh orange juice, low-sodium soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and orange zest in a small saucepan.
Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a bowl and drizzle the warm orange sauce over it, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, tangy twist on orange chicken.
