Low-Calorie Crispy Orange Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Enjoy a flavorful twist on classic orange chicken, featuring lightly crisped 6-ounce chicken breast coated in a touch of egg white and cornstarch, then finished in a tangy orange glaze with a hint of garlic and honey. Paired with perfectly roasted asparagus spears, this dish is both satisfying and nutritionally balanced.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 Egg White
0.5 tbsp Cornstarch
0.5 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Honey
1 clove Garlic
6 spears Asparagus
Olive Oil Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with olive oil spray.
In a small bowl, mix the egg white with cornstarch until smooth. Pat the chicken breast dry and coat evenly with the egg white mixture.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive oil. Sear the coated chicken breast for 2-3 minutes on each side until it starts to turn golden. Transfer the chicken to a plate temporarily.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant, then pour in the fresh orange juice and honey. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Return the chicken to the skillet, turning it in the orange sauce to coat well. Allow it to heat through for another 2 minutes.
While the chicken finishes cooking, trim the woody ends of the asparagus. Place the asparagus on the prepared baking sheet, spray lightly with olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt if desired.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until tender-crisp.
Plate the orange chicken along with the roasted asparagus, drizzling any remaining sauce from the skillet over the chicken. Serve immediately and enjoy!
