Enjoy tender, crispy chicken breast pieces with a tangy, sticky orange sauce that delivers a delightful burst of citrus and spice. This dish balances a delightful crunch with a zesty glaze, making it a sumptuous yet lean option perfect for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 Garlic Clove
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger
1 teaspoon Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon Honey
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
1 Green Onion (for garnish)
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Dust the chicken lightly with a pinch of cornstarch to achieve a crispy exterior.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a light drizzle of oil or use cooking spray.
Place the chicken breast in the pan and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden, ensuring a crispy crust. Reduce heat if necessary to cook through.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, and honey. Dissolve the remaining cornstarch (if extra for sauce thickening) in a teaspoon of water if a thicker consistency is desired.
Once the chicken is nearly cooked, pour the orange sauce mixture into the pan. Allow the sauce to bubble and thicken slightly around the chicken for 1-2 minutes, turning the chicken to coat well.
Remove from heat and slice the chicken. Drizzle any extra sauce over the top.
Garnish with finely chopped green onion and serve immediately.
