INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Panko
1/2 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Cornstarch
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Sesame Seeds
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F or prepare an air fryer if you prefer.
In a small bowl, toss the chicken breast pieces with salt, pepper, and a light spray of olive oil.
In another bowl, mix the whole wheat panko with a pinch of salt for extra crunch.
Lightly coat the chicken pieces with the panko by pressing the crumbs onto the surface of the chicken.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or in your air fryer basket. Bake or air fry for 15-18 minutes until the coating is crisp and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the orange sauce by combining the fresh orange juice, low sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch in a small saucepan.
Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour the thickened orange sauce over the crispy chicken, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, low-calorie Citrus-infused chicken dish.
