INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Cornstarch
0.33 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Honey
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/2 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1 tsp Sesame Seeds (optional)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and cut into bite-sized pieces if desired for easier eating. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
In a shallow dish, toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated.
Arrange the coated chicken evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and edges are slightly crispy.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the orange sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh orange juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce slightly for about 3-4 minutes.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a bowl and drizzle the warm orange sauce over the top. Toss gently to ensure every piece is well-coated.
Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds over the chicken for added crunch and a nutty flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your tangy, crispy baked orange chicken.
