Crispy Orange Glazed Chicken with Roasted Broccoli
Enjoy a vibrant twist on classic chicken with a zesty orange glaze paired with perfectly roasted broccoli. The crispy chicken, lightly dusted in cornstarch, delivers a delicate crunch while the natural sweetness of fresh orange complements a burst of citrus flavor. Roasted broccoli adds a nutritious, aromatic crunch to round out this satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Orange
1 tsp Cornstarch
1 cup Broccoli
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper for the broccoli.
Slice the orange in half and squeeze out the juice into a small bowl. Reserve a little extra juice and zest if desired for a stronger citrus accent.
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel. Lightly dust both sides with cornstarch, shaking off any excess.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tiny drizzle of olive oil and cook the chicken breast for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy on the outside. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, toss the broccoli florets with the remaining olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread them out on the prepared baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, until tender with slight crisp edges.
Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour the fresh orange juice over it. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes, letting it thicken slightly and coat the chicken with a glossy glaze.
Plate the crispy orange glazed chicken alongside the roasted broccoli. Optionally, drizzle any remaining orange glaze over the broccoli.
Serve warm and enjoy the balance of crispy, tangy, and fresh flavors.
