Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the egg white with a whisk until fluffy. Add the chicken and toss to coat with the egg white. Sprinkle with 3 tbsp of the cornstarch and toss to coat the chicken with the cornstarch.
  • Spread the coated chicken in a single even layer on the prepared baking sheet and spray with a little bit of avocado oil spray. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken. Bake for another 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, to a small saucepan, add the soy sauce, orange juice, honey, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, miso paste, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, ginger, and garlic. Stir to combine and bring to a low boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until slightly thickened and reduced. Stir in the remaining ½ tbsp cornstarch and simmer another minute, stirring often until thickened.
  • Change the oven to broil. Pour the sauce over the chicken on the baking sheet and toss, then return to the oven. Broil for about 3 minutes, tossing every minute, checking to ensure the sauce doesn’t burn. Remove from the oven and top with chopped green onion and sesame seeds to serve!
