INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (~170g)
1/3 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (~25g)
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice (~60g)
1 tsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, minced
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1 spray Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces or strips for even cooking.
In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Optionally, you can add a dash of paprika for extra flavor.
Lightly coat the chicken pieces with the olive oil cooking spray to help the panko adhere, then dredge them in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
Place the coated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding.
Air-fry the chicken at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crisping, until golden and cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the orange sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, low-sodium soy sauce, honey, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Allow it to reduce slightly until it thickens into a glaze, about 3-4 minutes.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a serving bowl and drizzle the warm orange glaze over the crispy pieces. Toss gently to ensure every piece is coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthier take on orange chicken.
