Savory Orange Chicken and Broccoli

Hey Everybody!

Today’s recipe is one for orange chicken and broccoli. I honestly think that it’s better than Panda Express. This isn’t as healthy as some of the other recipes I have posted, but it is one of my favorite go to meals. This is actually my own original recipe as well.

This recipe generally takes about 30 minutes from start to finish.

Ingredients

 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts

1 Cup Panko (found on the Asian Isle) 

1 Teaspoon Dried Parsley

1 Egg

2 Tablespoon of Orange Sauce (found on the Asian Isle) 

2 Crowns of Broccoli

1 Cup of Minute Jasmine Rice

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Grab two bowls. Add the panko and parsley to one bowl and crack the egg into the second. Beat the egg so that it is an even consistency.
3. Slice chicken breasts into small cubes about ¾ inch by ¾ inch.
4. Dredge your chicken in the egg, then in the panko and parsley mixture.
5. Place on prepared sheet pan.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes and remove.
7. Flip the pieces of chicken to the other side.
8. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165 degrees F.
9. At this point start to prepare your broccoli. Cut your broccoli crowns into small bushels. Fill a medium saucepan about 1/3 with water and boil it on high. Once it starts to boil place a steamer into your pan with the cut broccoli. Cover and reduce heat to medium for 9-11 minutes.
10. Meanwhile, boil 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. When it starts to boil pour 1 cup of minute jasmine rice in the pan and stir. Cover and remove from heat.
11. Top the cooling chicken with orange sauce and enjoy immediately.
12. Do not top chicken breasts with the orange sauce unless you are eating immediately and aren’t planning on having leftovers since it will make them soggy.
