A delightful dish featuring crispy chicken coated in a sweet and tangy orange sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Set up a breading station with flour mixed with a pinch of salt in one bowl and beaten eggs in another.
  3. Dip each chicken piece in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with flour.

  6. In a saucepan, combine orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, and ginger powder; simmer until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).

  8. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
