INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (raw)
1 cup Broccoli (raw)
1/3 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Honey
1 tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Cornstarch
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, minced
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Orange Zest
1/2 tsp Sesame Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a light drizzle of sesame oil, then spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until edges are slightly crispy.
Meanwhile, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice, honey, low-sodium soy sauce, cornstarch, minced ginger, minced garlic, and orange zest to create the orange sauce.
Coat the chicken pieces in the orange sauce, ensuring each piece is evenly covered.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and develops a crispy exterior from the sauce.
Once the chicken is nearly done, drizzle the 1/2 tsp of sesame oil in the pan and toss to enhance the flavor.
Plate the crispy orange chicken alongside the roasted broccoli. Enjoy your light, flavorful dinner!
