INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1 large Egg White
1/3 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Ginger, grated
1 Garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Cornstarch
1 tsp Sesame Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry. In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In another bowl, whisk the egg white. Dip the chicken breast into the egg white, ensuring an even coating, then dredge it in the panko mixture until fully coated.
Place the coated chicken breast onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or drizzle a small amount of oil over the top to help with crisping.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating becomes crispy.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh orange juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, and low-sodium soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Mix in the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry, then stir it into the sauce. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Once the chicken is baked, remove it from the oven. Drizzle the thickened orange sauce evenly over the crispy chicken.
Finish by drizzling sesame oil over the dish to enhance the flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your deliciously crispy and tangy baked orange chicken.
