INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Panko
1 tbsp Cornstarch
1/2 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
1 tsp Rice Vinegar
1 tsp Orange Zest
1 cup Green Beans
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a shallow bowl, mix the egg white with a pinch of salt. In another bowl, combine the whole wheat panko and cornstarch.
Dip each piece of chicken first in the egg white, then dredge in the panko blend, ensuring an even coating.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crisp.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the orange sauce by combining the fresh orange juice, light soy sauce, rice vinegar, and orange zest in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Steam the green beans until tender-crisp, about 5-6 minutes.
Once the chicken is ready, toss lightly in the orange sauce ensuring all pieces are coated.
Plate the orange chicken alongside a serving of steamed green beans and enjoy immediately.
