Crispy Baked Orange Chicken with Roasted Broccoli
Enjoy a deliciously tangy and crunchy twist on classic orange chicken, perfectly paired with savory roasted broccoli. The chicken is lightly breaded and baked to a crispy perfection, then glazed with a homemade orange sauce that bursts with fresh citrus flavor, while the broccoli provides a satisfying, nutrient-packed crunch.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1 large Egg
1/3 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Orange Zest
1/2 tsp Red Chili Flakes
1 cup Broccoli
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg to create an egg wash. In another shallow dish, add the panko breadcrumbs, red chili flakes, and a pinch of salt if desired.
Dip the chicken breast in the egg wash and then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even, crispy coating on all sides.
Place the breaded chicken on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh orange juice, low-sodium soy sauce, and orange zest. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let it reduce slightly for 3-4 minutes to form a light glaze.
Brush a little olive oil over the broccoli florets and season lightly with salt and pepper. Spread the broccoli on the other side of the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the broccoli is tender with slightly crispy edges.
During the last 2 minutes of baking, brush the orange glaze over the chicken. Remove from the oven and let sit for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the crispy baked orange chicken alongside the roasted broccoli, and enjoy the harmony of tangy, savory, and crunchy textures.
