INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 Egg White
2 tbsp Almond Flour
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Panko
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
Zest of 1 Orange
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg white. In another bowl, combine the almond flour and whole wheat panko.
Pat the chicken breast dry and dip each piece into the egg white, then coat evenly with the almond-panko mixture.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh orange juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and orange zest. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let it reduce slightly for 3-4 minutes to form a light glaze.
Brush the glaze over the chicken breasts, reserving a little for serving if desired.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
Optionally, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove from the oven, drizzle with any remaining glaze, and serve hot.
