INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1 medium Orange
1 Garlic Clove
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the juice and zest from the orange (squeeze the orange and reserve the zest), minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour half of the orange mixture over it, letting it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and lightly coat it with the cornstarch. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken to help achieve a crispy texture.
Arrange the chicken on the prepared baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Once baked, drizzle the thickened orange sauce over the chicken or serve it on the side.
Garnish with a bit of fresh orange zest and serve immediately.
