HEALTHY ORANGE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Start by prepping all the ingredients before you begin to cook.
• Place a large 9-10″ cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium high heat. When the pan is hot, add 1 tablespoon avocado oil and the cut up chicken.
• Sauté stirring only as the chicken browns for 3-4 minutes, or until just done. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
• Lower the heat to medium-low and add the remaining tablespoon avocado oil, toasted sesame oil, ginger and garlic. Cook stirring constantly to prevent browning until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Then add the orange zest, orange juice, and coconut aminos to the pan. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to maintain a brisk boil. The goal in this step is to reduce the sauce.
• When the sauce is thickened, 8-10 minutes, add the chicken back to the pan. Or if you like a bit more sauce you can add the optional thickener before the sauce thickens on it's own, at about the 5 minute mark in the cooking time.
• Cook to warm the chicken and combine it with the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Then sprinkle with the green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

SWEET AND SPICY BAKED ORANGE CHICKEN TENDERS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• 1.Whisk the Orange Marinade/Glaze ingredients together in a medium bowl. Add 1/3 cup to a large freezer bag with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the chicken and marinate 60 minutes up to overnight in the refrigerator. Refrigerate reserved Glaze separately. 2.Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in panko and continue to cook and stir until browned. Remove from heat.** 3.Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil then top with a wire baking rack. Spray rack with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. 4.Line up your breading station: Add flour to a large freezer bag. Whisk milk and eggs together in a bowl or shallow dish. Mix panko, ground cornflakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a large bowl. 5.Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Add chicken to flour and toss until evenly coated. Working with one chicken tender at a time, remove from flour, shake off any excess then coat in milk/egg mixture and drain off any excess. Roll chicken in panko/cornflakes, pressing to adhere. Shake off any excess and place on wire rack. Repeat until all chicken tenders are breaded. 6.Bake for 20 minutes at 425 F degrees or until chicken is cooked through. Broil until golden. Let cool for 10 minutes while you prepare your Glaze. 7.Add reserved Glaze to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil while stirring. Reduce to a simmer until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Using tongs, dip chicken in Glaze to coat then return to baking rack or individual plates. Garnish with orange and green onions if desired. Notes Total cooking time does not include marinating as that will vary upon individual. *I use my food processor and pulse until the size of panko crumbs. You can place cornflakes in a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin. You can substitute cornflakes with additional panko for a total of 1 1/4 cups panko and brown panko with 1 tablespoon butter. **You can do this while your chicken marinates and store in an airtight container until ready to use. ***The less time you wait between coating the chicken in the glaze and eating, the crispier it will be. That being said, the chicken has a wonderful texture but is not overly crispy.
