INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1 large Egg
1 cup Green Beans
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tsp Orange Zest
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently flatten to ensure even cooking.
Beat the egg in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, add the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip the chicken breast first in the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat evenly with panko breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating is golden and crispy.
While the chicken bakes, trim the green beans and steam or blanch them for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
In a skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of cooking spray or water and sauté the minced garlic (from the 2 cloves) for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cooked green beans to the skillet and toss to combine with the garlic.
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh orange juice and orange zest; simmer over low heat for 2-3 minutes to slightly reduce and intensify the flavor.
Plate the crispy orange chicken alongside a serving of garlic green beans and drizzle the orange sauce over the chicken for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
