INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
2 tbsp Almond Flour
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 Orange Zest
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Ginger
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper slices
Cooking Spray
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, whisk together the egg and a pinch of salt and pepper.
In another small bowl, combine the almond flour with a little more salt and pepper. Dip each chicken piece first in the egg mixture then in the almond flour, coating thoroughly.
Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through for even baking.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the orange sauce by combining the fresh orange juice, orange zest, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Once the chicken is done, toss the crispy pieces in the warm orange sauce until well coated. Optionally, add red bell pepper slices for extra crunch and color.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, crispy low calorie orange chicken.
