INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 Egg White
1 tbsp Cornstarch
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, minced
1 Garlic clove, minced
1 tsp Orange Zest
1 tsp Sesame Oil
2 tbsp Scallions, chopped
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg white and cornstarch until smooth.
Coat the chicken pieces in the egg white mixture ensuring each piece is lightly covered.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Place the coated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry the chicken for approximately 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through until the pieces are golden and crispy.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the orange sauce by combining fresh orange juice, low-sodium soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, and orange zest in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Once the chicken is finished, toss it in the warm orange sauce until evenly coated.
Drizzle with a teaspoon of sesame oil and garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
