Crispy Orange Chicken with Sticky Sauce
Enjoy a lighter twist on the classic takeout favorite with this Crispy Orange Chicken that features juicy, baked chicken breast coated in a crunchy panko and whole wheat flour mix, tossed in a tangy, sticky orange sauce, and served with a side of vibrant steamed broccoli.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Rice Vinegar
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1 cup Chopped Broccoli
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and whole wheat flour.
Lightly coat the chicken pieces with the breadcrumb-flour mixture. For extra adhesion, you can lightly mist the chicken with water.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, prepare the sticky orange sauce by whisking together the fresh orange juice, low-sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Steam or lightly sauté the chopped broccoli until tender-crisp.
Toss the baked chicken pieces in the warm orange sauce until well coated.
Plate the orange chicken alongside the broccoli, and enjoy your delicious, balanced meal.
