INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
2 Egg Whites
1/4 cup Orange Juice
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 tsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy. In a separate bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each chicken breast piece first into the egg whites, ensuring an even coating, then press into the panko breadcrumbs to cover all sides.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush a small amount of oil over the chicken to help with crisping.
Bake the chicken for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the orange sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, and low sodium soy sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer over low heat and let it reduce slightly for 3-4 minutes.
Once the chicken is done, drizzle the warm orange sauce over the crispy chicken or toss the chicken pieces in the sauce until evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy rendition of crispy orange chicken.
