INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 large Egg
1 tbsp Cornstarch
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Orange Zest
1 tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
Cooking Spray
2 tbsp Green Onions, chopped
PREPARATION
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and pat dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg and cornstarch until smooth. Toss the chicken pieces in the mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
Place the coated chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air-fry for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, shaking the basket halfway through for even crisping.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh orange juice, orange zest, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
Once the chicken is crispy and cooked, transfer it to a mixing bowl and pour the warm orange sauce over it. Toss to ensure all pieces are well coated.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
