About Orange chicken breast only

Orange Chicken Breast Only is a flavorful dish inspired by Chinese-American cuisine, offering a sweet and tangy experience. This entree features tender pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breast, lightly battered and fried, then coated in a signature orange glaze made with citrus juice, sugar, soy sauce, and a hint of ginger. The chicken breast provides a source of lean protein, essential for muscle repair and maintenance. However, the frying process and sugary sauce contribute to higher calories, fats, and added sugars, making it less ideal for those watching their intake. Selecting the chicken breast without additional sides ensures fewer calories compared to a full entrée. For a lighter option, pair it with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad. This dish balances indulgence with a touch of wholesome nutrition, appealing to a wide range of taste profiles.
