INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 large Egg White
1/8 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 cup Broccoli
1/4 cup Orange Juice
1 tsp Fresh Orange Zest
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Ginger
1 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the broccoli.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white. In another bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Pat the chicken breast dry and dip it first in the egg white, then press evenly into the breadcrumbs to coat lightly.
Heat a non-stick skillet with a light spray of olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden and slightly crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Place the broccoli on a baking sheet, lightly drizzle or spray with olive oil, season with salt and pepper if desired, and roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender with crisp edges.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low-medium heat, combine the orange juice, fresh orange zest, minced garlic, grated ginger, and soy sauce. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring frequently.
Return the chicken to the pan and toss it in the orange sauce until well coated.
Plate the crispy orange chicken with a generous serving of roasted broccoli on the side and serve immediately.
