INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 large Egg White
1 Tbsp Cornstarch
1 Tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Orange Zest
1 tsp Sesame Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, minced
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-size pieces and pat dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg white, cornstarch, and whole wheat flour to create a light batter.
Toss the chicken pieces in the batter until they are evenly coated.
Spread the coated chicken on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake the chicken for about 15-18 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crisp, flipping halfway through for even baking.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the orange glaze by combining fresh orange juice, orange zest, minced garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and let it reduce slightly for about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the glaze from heat and stir in the sesame oil.
Drizzle the warm orange glaze over the baked chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy the balance of crispy texture and tangy, citrus flavor.
