A fun and deconstructed take on traditional Orange Chicken, this Peppered Oat Crusted Chicken with Sweet Orange Sauce is simple, delicious, and can be made completely gluten-free.
Ingredients
1 large egg
1 Tablespoon water
½ cup Quick & Easy Steel Cut Oats
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound chicken, cut into strips (I purchased a 14oz. pack of pre-prepared chicken strips)
½ cup orange marmalade
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 Tablespoon brown sugar, packed
1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
1 clove garlic, finely minced
Ginger, fresh pressed or prepared in a squeeze tube, to your personal taste (more added=spicier)
Pinch red pepper flakes (more or less to your liking)
Rice and vegetables, cooked (optional for serving)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425͒F.
Whisk the egg and water together in a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the oats with salt and pepper.
Dip a chicken strip into the egg wash and coat the top, bottom, and sides.
Dip the egg-coated chicken into the oat mixture and evenly coat all sides.
Set the coated strip onto a cookie sheet lined with tin foil then sprayed with non-stick spray.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping once after 10 minutes.
As the chicken cooks, whisk together the marmalade, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper to taste, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a low boil and cook about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and it will thicken a little more as it cools.
Serve warm with the sauce on the side or poured on top.
