INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Cornstarch
1 tsp Soy Sauce
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Orange Zest
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, cornstarch, soy sauce, orange zest, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
Place the chicken breast on a lightly greased baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Brush the orange mixture generously over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating appears crispy.
Optional: For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad.
