INGREDIENTS

5 oz Chicken Breast

1/4 cup Almond Flour

1 Large Egg

1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice

1 tsp Orange Zest

2 Garlic Cloves

1 tsp Ginger

8 Spears Asparagus

1 tsp Olive Oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 425°F for the asparagus roasting.

• 2

  Rinse and pat dry the chicken breast, then cut it into bite-sized pieces.

• 3

  In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In another bowl, place the almond flour.

• 4

  Dip each chicken piece first in the egg and then coat thoroughly with almond flour.

• 5

  Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sear the chicken pieces until golden and crispy on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. They do not need to be fully cooked through at this stage.

• 6

  While the chicken cooks, trim the asparagus ends and toss them lightly with a dash of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

• 7

  In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh orange juice, orange zest, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly into a light sauce.

• 8

  Once the chicken pieces are cooked through, add them to the saucepan and toss to coat evenly with the orange sauce.

• 9

  Plate the crispy orange chicken alongside the roasted asparagus. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors.
