INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (raw)
3 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Cornstarch
1 clove Fresh Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 cup Fresh Broccoli
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and lightly coat each side in the breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated chicken on the baking sheet.
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh orange juice, low sodium soy sauce, cornstarch, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk well to ensure the cornstarch is dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until it thickens into a glaze, about 3-4 minutes.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy, flipping halfway through for even crispness.
While the chicken bakes, steam the broccoli until tender yet crisp, about 5-6 minutes.
Once done, drizzle the freshly thickened orange glaze over the baked chicken and serve alongside the steamed broccoli.
