Baked Orange Chicken

This baked orange chicken is better for you than the usual takeout dish. It tastes great because of the tangy orange sauce, and the chicken stays moist and tender because it's baked instead of fried.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• Sesame seeds, for garnish optional
• Green onions, sliced, for garnish optional

Instructions:

Warm the oven up to 190C 375F

Put orange juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan

Over medium-low heat, bring to a boil

To make a slurry, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl

Pour the slurry into the saucepan slowly while whisking all the time

Do this for about two minutes, or until the sauce thickens

Take it off the heat

In a baking dish, put chicken breasts

Cover every breast of chicken with the orange sauce as you pour it over them

Take the chicken out of the oven and bake it for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it's fully cooked and no longer pink in the middle

The juices should run clear

If you want, you can add sesame seeds and sliced green onions as a garnish before serving
