How to Make Ginger Orange Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Arrange 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a single layer, top side up, in a baking dish.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute (e.g., Splenda), and 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger.
  4. Pour the orange ginger sauce evenly over the chicken breasts.
  5. Bake for 35 minutes.
  6. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 tablespoon brown sugar substitute (Splenda), and 1/2 cup water until completely smooth.
  8. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the baking dish with the remaining pan juices. Stir to combine.
  9. Return the chicken to the baking dish, placing the breasts top side down in the sauce.
  10. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through and tender (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
  11. Garnish with fresh orange slices and chopped parsley before serving.
