Light Crispy Orange Chicken with Roasted Broccoli
Enjoy a vibrant twist on classic orange chicken with a lighter, crispy finish paired with perfectly roasted broccoli. This meal balances succulent, lightly battered chicken with a zesty orange glaze, finished with a sprinkle of crushed peanuts for that extra texture contrast. The roasted broccoli adds a hearty crunch, making it a delicious yet clean option for any meal time.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Cornstarch
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Orange Zest
1/2 tsp Sesame Oil
1 tsp Soy Sauce
1 clove Garlic, minced
150 g Broccoli Florets
1 tsp Olive Oil
5 g Crushed Peanuts
PREPARATION
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and toss with cornstarch to lightly coat.
In a small bowl, mix the orange juice, orange zest, sesame oil, soy sauce, and minced garlic to create the orange sauce.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned and crispy on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes.
While the chicken cooks, preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred on the edges.
Once the chicken is cooked, pour the orange sauce over the chicken in the skillet, stirring to evenly coat. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes until it slightly thickens.
Plate the crispy orange chicken alongside the roasted broccoli and finish with a light sprinkle of crushed peanuts for added crunch.
