Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup rice
- 1 orange slices
Sticky Orange Sauce
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/8 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp Thai sweet red chili sauce
- 2 tbsp no calorie granulated sugar substitute
- 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tbsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- 1Cut the chicken breast into bite‑size cubes.
- 2In a large bowl, combine the chicken cubes with baking soda, 0.5 tbsp cornstarch, 0.5 tsp pepper, paprika, 0.5 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp ground ginger, garlic powder, and 1 tsp red pepper flakes. Toss until every piece is evenly coated.
- 3Lightly spray the coated chicken with a no‑calorie cooking spray.
- 4Preheat the air‑fryer to 400°F (392°F). Arrange the chicken in a single layer and air‑fry for 12–14 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the pieces are golden and cooked through.
- 5While the chicken cooks, prepare the Sticky Orange Sauce (see component instructions).
- 6When the sauce has thickened, remove it from heat.
- 7Transfer the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sauce and toss to coat each piece thoroughly. Cook together for 1–2 minutes so the flavors meld.
- 8Meanwhile, rinse 1 cup of raw rice and cook it according to package directions (about 15 minutes). Keep warm.
- 9Serve the sticky orange chicken over the cooked rice, garnish with fresh orange slices, and enjoy immediately.
