INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast (142g)
1/3 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (25g)
1 tablespoon Cornstarch (8g)
1 Egg White (33g)
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice (60g)
1 teaspoon Low-Sodium Soy Sauce (5g)
1 teaspoon Rice Vinegar (5g)
1 teaspoon Grated Fresh Ginger (2g)
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (3g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and cornstarch. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white.
Dip each chicken piece first into the egg white, then coat evenly with the panko-cornstarch mixture.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crisp, flipping halfway for even baking.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the orange glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh orange juice, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and garlic powder. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove the chicken from the oven and drizzle the orange glaze over the crispy baked chicken.
Garnish with additional fresh ginger or a sprinkle of green onions if desired, then serve immediately.
