Crispy Sesame Ginger Chicken Tacos.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- sesame or olive oil, for drizzling
- 1/2 cup tamari or soy sauce
- 1/3 cup orange juice + 2 tablespoons zest
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1-3 tablespoons chili paste
- 2 teaspoons creamy peanut butter
- 2-4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 12 hard shell tacos
- nori sheets, lettuce, kimchi, cilantro, green onion, and queso fresco or your favorite cheese, for serving
- yum yum style sauce, for serving
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 475° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease with oil.
- 2. In a bowl, combine the chicken, egg white, tamari/soy sauce, and orange zest. Toss well to coat. In a separate bowl, add the cornstarch.
- 3. Dredge the chicken through the cornstarch to coat. Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with oil. Bake for 8 minutes. Flip the chicken and bake another 3-5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Switch the oven to broil.
- 4. Meanwhile, whisk together the tamari/soy sauce, orange juice, honey/maple, chili paste, peanut butter, garlic, and ginger. Pour the sauce over the chicken, then toss to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Broil 1-3 minutes, until the sauce begins to stick to the chicken and thicken.
- 5. Stuff the nori into shells (if desired). Add the chicken, then top as desired. Serve with any extra sauce from the sheet pan and/or yum yum style sauce (homemade in notes).
