INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 Tbsp Cornstarch
1/2 medium Orange (juiced and zested)
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 Tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Sesame Oil
2 Sprigs Green Onions
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. In a shallow bowl, lightly coat the chicken pieces with cornstarch, ensuring an even coverage.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for approximately 18-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the edges start to crisp.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the zesty glaze by combining the freshly squeezed juice and zest from 1/2 medium orange, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil in a small saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a light simmer over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze slightly thickens.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven. Drizzle the warm orange glaze evenly over the crispy chicken.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately for a flavorful, tangy twist on a classic dish.
