Why You’ll Love This Homemade Orange Chicken
- All-In-One Meal. This orange chicken recipe is the easiest and most delicious all-in-one meal! Thanks to the chicken, veggies, and orange sauce, the dish contains protein, fiber, and numerous vitamins and minerals (same with this Sheet Pan Shrimp and Broccoli). If you want a side dish, Instant Pot Brown Rice is easy and quick.
- REAL Orange Flavor. As with this classic Orange Chicken, the secret to the best orange chicken is in the sauce! Instead of orange chicken with orange marmalade and brown sugar, this orange chicken sauce is made of a few wholesome ingredients. The most important ingredient is real orange juice and orange zest.
- Healthy. Just like my Crockpot Orange Chicken, this orange chicken is better tasting, better for you, and less expensive than orange chicken from [insert your Chinese takeout chain here]. Like many of my other healthy fast food makeovers (like Teriyaki Beef Stir Fry), this recipe keeps the spirit of the dish, but delivers it in a more wholesome way.
- Tastes Like the Real Thing. You’ll find the signature orange chicken sauce and orange chicken crispy coating, but the chicken is baked and not fried.
How to Make Healthy Orange Chicken
The Ingredients
For the Crispy Baked Chicken
- Chicken Breasts. Because we’re baking the chicken instead of frying it, this orange chicken is good for you. After it’s baked, the chicken becomes the perfect combination of crispy outside and moist and tender inside. I used boneless skinless chicken breasts, but you could also try this as an orange chicken thighs recipe.
- Panko Breadcrumbs. The best way to help crisp up the chicken without frying it. They also absorb the sauce, giving the chicken pieces their hallmark sticky texture.
- Green Onions. One of my favorite additions to stir fry recipes. They add balance to the sweetness of the sauce and give freshness and color to the dish.
For the Homemade Orange Chicken Sauce
- Orange Zest + Juice. The key to our fresh, bright orange flavor. The best part: both of these ingredients can come from the same orange (winning!).
- Honey. As with other sticky, Asian-inspired dishes (like Sesame Chicken), I used honey instead of granulated sugar or brown sugar.
- Soy Sauce. A star ingredient in almost every stir fry recipe. Soy sauce brings a savory, salty complement to the sweetness of the orange and honey.
- Ginger + Garlic. The Asian flavor dream team!
- Cornstarch + Water. Creates a cornstarch slurry to help thicken the sauce.
- Red Pepper Flakes. Orange chicken is not spicy on its own, so I threw in red pepper flakes for some heat. Add as much or as little as you want to reach your desired level of spiciness.
The Directions
- Prep the Broccoli. Toss it with oil and spices, then add it to a baking sheet.
- Prep the Chicken. Toss it with breadcrumbs before adding it to the sheet pan.
- Bake. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Make the Sauce. Boil until it’s deliciously thick and sticky.
- Put It All Together. Coat the chicken in the sauce. Serve with broccoli and ENJOY!
Storage Tips
- To Store. Place leftover orange chicken in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To Reheat. To help the chicken recrisp, rewarm this recipe on a baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees F until hot. In a pinch, you can also reheat it in the microwave.
- To Freeze. Store orange chicken in an airtight freezer-safe storage container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. The chicken may not be as crispy once thawed, but it will still taste delicious.
Meal Prep Tip
If you want to make extra broccoli, it can be chopped up to 2 days in advance or fully roasted 1 day in advance; this lightening-fast Roasted Frozen Broccoli is great to make a day ahead then reheat in the oven towards the end of the chicken’s baking time.
Leftover Ideas
Upgrade Homemade Fried Rice by tossing in leftover orange chicken and broccoli. You could also serve your leftovers in a lettuce leaf (like in my Lettuce Wraps recipe).
What to Serve with Healthy Orange Chicken
- Vegetables. Like my Crockpot Beef and Broccoli recipe, this orange chicken includes a moderate portion of broccoli for each serving, so you could also include additional Oven Roasted Vegetables for a larger serving. Red peppers, sugar snap peas, water chestnuts (I use these in my Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry), Roasted Carrots, or Roasted Mushrooms would be delicious.
- Rice. We love serving this baked orange chicken recipe (and this Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken) over a bed of brown rice, white rice, or quinoa. For a low-carb option, Cauliflower Fried Rice would also be tasty.
- Salad. Try serving your orange chicken with a salad like this Ramen Salad or Asian Cucumber Salad.
Recommended Tools to Make This Recipe
- Baking Sheets. These are heavy-duty and will last for years to come.
- Small Whisk. Ideal for whisking together sauce ingredients without splashing all over the counter.
- Nonslip Cutting Board. Great for chopping, and it’s easy to clean if you are cutting meat for any of my healthy chicken recipes.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Make the Homemade Sauce. You can buy orange chicken sauce, but it’s generally full of added preservatives and sugar. Once you experience the fresh flavor of orange chicken sauce from scratch, you’ll never want to use the bottled kind again.
- Use What You Have. Only have chicken thighs on hand? You can swap those here! They may take a little longer to cook than the breasts, but they’ll taste scrumptious. You can also omit the broccoli and swap in another veggie if you prefer. See my ideas above.
- Don’t Overcook the Chicken. The key to chicken pieces with juicy insides and crispy outsides is cook time. The times listed in this recipe are perfect for the size of chicken pieces that I recommend. If you overcook your chicken pieces, they can become tough and chewy.

Ingredients
FOR THE BROCCOLI:
- 1 medium head broccoli cut into florets (about 4 cups florets)
- 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
FOR THE CHICKEN:
- ⅓ cup whole wheat Panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 small/medium breasts)
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
FOR THE SAUCE:
- Zest of 1 medium orange about 2 tablespoons
- ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice from the same 1 medium orange
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 cloves minced garlic about 2 teaspoons
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes to taste
Instructions
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Prepare the broccoli: place the broccoli on the baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread into an even layer on one side of the sheet pan.
- Prepare the chicken: Place breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper into a large ziptop bag. Shake a little to combine. Add the chicken pieces, seal, then shake to coat the chicken evenly. Place the chicken pieces in a single layer on the open side of the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the pan from the oven and turn the chicken pieces over. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 5 to 10 additional minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. When a piece of chicken is cut, the juices should run clear.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan (one large enough to hold the sauce and the chicken), whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. In a small bowl, whisk together the water and corn starch, until it is very smooth. Add to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the sauce is thickened and reduced, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes. Taste (be careful; it will be hot!) and adjust the seasoning as desired.
- Add the baked chicken to the pot and stir to coat with the sauce. If the broccoli is not yet as crisp as you would like, spread it out over the surface of the entire pan (including the open side where you were previously roasting the chicken) and return it to the oven until it is as baked as you like (I left it in for about 3 more minutes). Stir the green onions into the pot with the chicken. Serve hot with the roasted broccoli and rice.
Notes
- TO STORE: Place leftover orange chicken in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- TO REHEAT: To help the chicken recrisp, rewarm this dish on a baking sheet in the oven at 350°F until hot. In a pinch, you can also reheat it in the microwave.
- TO FREEZE: Store orange chicken in an airtight freezer-safe storage container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. The chicken may not be as crispy once thawed, but it will still taste delicious.
- On 3/12/20 recipe was updated to reduce cornstarch to 2 tablespoons based on feedback that the sauce became too thick; if you like a super duper thick sauce, feel free to use the original 3 tablespoons.

Hi I love ur recipes thank u for sharing
I’m so pleased to hear that, Kimberly!
I fixed this to serve one person, and it is delicious. If you’re adjusting as I did, watch the ginger, reducing it and the cornstarch to a half teaspoon; it can overwhelm. Including a half cup of steamed rice, WeightWatchers assigns this only 4 points.
Thank you for sharing this kind review, Liz! I’m so happy you enjoyed this dish!
Thanks for including the weight watchers points in your review
I haven’t made this yet, but in the pictures it looks like there are sesame seeds sprinkled on top. However, in the recipe there is no mention of them. Am I seeing things or was this an oversight?
Beverly, the sesame seeds are more decorative, but you can definitely add them if you like! It’s up to you :)
I’ve made this 3 times in the past few months. Delicious! Using dried ginger instead of fresh, so only used 1/4 teaspoon.
I am so so pleased to hear it Stephanie! Thank you for sharing this lovely review and the dried ginger tip!
I made this last night and my husband ate all the chicken! He usually does not go back for seconds- but he thought it was amazing. Erin, you do a great job and thank you for sharing your talents- please keep it up and know u are appreciated.
Tonight is white bean chicken chili in slow cooker.
Thank you!
This MADE my day! I’m so pleased to hear that the recipe was a hit, Heather!
Love Chinese food and this dish can be easily changed with substitutions like shrimp and pineapple chunks with snowpeas and carrots or beef tips and mushrooms for a easy twist on dinner night after night Half a can of cut green beans and some petite tomatoes completed the beef version is a great toss in
Thank you for sharing this kind review, Blondie! I hope you love the recipe if you try it!
I liked the taste but also had trouble with the sauce. It became very thick and sticky as soon as I added the cornstarch/ water mixture. Too thick to stir the chicken into. I was able to thin with more water but maybe check the recipe.
Hi Sherrie! I’m sorry to hear that you had trouble with the sauce. Next time, you could try using only 2 tablespoons to see if that helps. I’m happy you still enjoyed the flavors!
I absolutely loved this, as did my family! Definitely adjust to less cornstarch though. 3 Tablespoons turned my sauce into a cement paste, so I used teriyaki from the fridge instead. I’m looking forward to trying it again.
Thank you for sharing this kind review, Caitlin! I’m so pleased that this was a hit for you and your family!
Erin, I made this dish tonight. Though I thought I had ginger in some form, I did not. It was still so tasty, and my husband loved it! The chicken was very tender, too! Thank you for posting another wonderful recipe!
Thank you for sharing this kind review, Peggy! I’m so pleased that you enjoyed this recipe!
We made the orange chicken tonight. It was a hit. We will be making this again soon. Thanks for the great recipe.
Thank you for sharing this kind review, Kelly! I’m so happy that you enjoyed the recipe!
This recipe was very tasty. Based on other reviews, I would reduce the cornstarch to 1.5 tablespoons. I also added a little time under the broiler to crisp up the chicken.
I’m so happy that you enjoyed the recipe, Christina! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
Thank you, thank you!! I never thought I could enjoy vegetables so much until I found you. Now I can’t wait for your next recipe.
Your zucchini and cabbage recipes have been wonderful. The zucchini sticks great. Can’t wait to try the orange chicken.
Thank you for making life fun and enjoyable.
This MAKES my day, Ellen! I’m so happy that you’ve enjoyed my recipes!
I love healthier homemade alternatives to meals that our boys love, and Th is is definitely one of them!
Thank you for sharing this kind comment, Matt! I hope you enjoy the recipe if you try it!
Erin! This was amazing! Kurt absolutely loved it and now that his favorite Stir Crazy restaurant is defunct, this is going to be a regular feature in our house! The sauce was so flavorful, I will likely double it next time! Thanks for a great recipe!
I’m so pleased that it was a hit, Margaret! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
Looks delicious, gonna try this tonight for dinner. will keep updated, how my hubby and kids gonna enjoy it. Thanks, Erin your recipes are just awesome.
I hope you enjoy it, Diyasree!
Hi.. Very nice chicken recipe.. Love your recipe.. Thanks for sharing
I’m so happy that it was a hit! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
Yum! I love sheet pan dinners because they are perfect for those busy weeknights. I especially love how the home-made sauce is simple, yet delicious. I have had your Crock Pot Beef and Broccoli on rotation for weeks now, so this recipe will be a nice addition to shake things up. Thank you!
I’m so excited that you’ve enjoyed both recipes, Natalie! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
Hey Erin, made this Orange Chicken for my Husband & Mother tonight. It was really good. Since we tend to like things a little sweeter I added about a tablespoon of sugar ? to the sauce. Oranges this time of year lack the juices so the fresh OJ took 2 oranges. I toasted about 2/3 cup of raw cashews with the veggies and chicken. I replaced 1-1/4 cups of zucchini and 3/4 cup (aloha) red/orange pepper for 2 cups of broccoli. So the 3 veggies were good in it. Things were starting to get cold when making the sauce so I used 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. Thanks for the recipe. I see I’ll need to start making the sauce before putting the veggies and chicken in the oven. Then I can start cooking the sauce while they’re baking. I look forward to making this again!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed it, Mary! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
This was a great recipe! Easy & amazing flavour! My family loved it! Husband and teenage son went back for seconds! No leftovers! Can’t wait to try your other recipes!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed the recipe, Jackaline! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
Hey Erin! Being a chicken lover I have tried so many dishes including Indian Butter chicken, but this Orange Chicken recipe is completely new to me. I will definitely try this at home during this lockdown period and have it with my family. Thank you for the recipe God bless you.
I hope you love the recipe if you try it, Kartik!
Loved it! I doubled the quantities for two 2lbs of chicken thighs instead of breasts. I used teriyaki sauce because I didn’t have soy sauce, and added only 1.5 tbsp instead of 2. It was delicious!! Thank you for a great recipe!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed the recipe, Mariel! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
This was such a delicious and simple way to make a healthier version of Asian inspired takeout! Will make again!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed it, Nickie! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
I made this tonight and really enjoyed it! I added some garlic powder and onion powder into the bread crumbs, which was great. I also whisked one egg and dredged the chicken in it before putting it into the breadcrumbs so it would stick better. My fiancé ate the orange I got by accident ? so I did without the zest and it was fine! I forgot to add the pinch of red pepper flakes but added some sirracha on at the end. I found the broccoli to cook a bit faster than I wanted, but 400° was perfect for the chicken. I used 1.5 lbs of chicken tenders (diced) and therefore doubled the sauce. It was excellent. I served it with a side of fried rice with fresh egg – I took a shortcut from Trader Joe’s and used their vegetarian frozen fried rice. Thanks Erin
I’m so happy that you enjoyed the recipe, Paul! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
Amazing orange flavor! So fresh tasting
I’m so happy that you enjoyed it, Candace! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
My sauce turned out wayyyyy too tart and almost inedible. I followed the recipe exactly, accept used ginger powder instead of ginger. We were thinking maybe the recipe calls for way too much zest? .. Do you have any advice on what I could have done incorrect?
I’m sorry that this recipe didn’t turn out as you hoped, Rebecca. Did you use the amount of ginger called for in the recipe? When swapping ground ginger for fresh ginger, you’ll want to lessen the amount used. This could’ve impacted the flavor of the sauce a bit. I hope it goes better next time if you decide to try it again!
This meal was super fresh and light. The orange flavor was evident and I loved it. My husband said how much he loved it multiple times.
I’m so happy that you enjoyed it, Kayla! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
This recipe turned out amazing! I wasn’t sure if Panko crumbs were gluten free so I used crushed Rice Chex instead, which worked perfectly. Loved the use of orange zest and fresh squeezed orange juice. The sauce was so flavorful and so fresh. Definitely will make again!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed it, Miranda! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
Thanks for the rice Chex hint for bread crumbs!
Linda
I’ve made this recipe several times. A real winner that pleases even the picky eaters. As do some other commenters, I add seasoning to the breadcrumbs. I double the sauce, add a little rice vinegar for extra tang, and add a dash of sesame oil at the end. I found that the orange zest introduced too bitter a flavor when I used it, so now I leave it out. This is in our permanent rotation.
I’m so happy that you’ve enjoyed the recipe, Sarah! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
This was quite good and really easy. I did notice a bit of bitterness which I think was the orange zest. I will add a bit less next time. I am on the Noom diet and having trouble cooking interesting things. This fit in very well, as did your recipe for Baked Chicken Parmesan. Thanks!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed it, Theresa! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
OMG! So good! I used a cara cara orange, because it’s what I had. Hubby said it needs to go on our regular rotation. It is the perfect recipe for someone trying to limit take out food. Thank you!!!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed it, Shawna! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
Very, very orangey. I would halve the orange juice, orange zest and honey, and double the soy sauce. Also had to add about a 1/2 cup of water to the sauce because it was so thick, so reducing the cornstarch is something I would also do. Probably wouldn’t make again.
I’m sorry that this dish wasn’t to your tastes, Alice. I (and many other readers) have enjoyed it, so I truly wish it would’ve been a hit for you too!
This tasted incredible! I served it with Broccolini and Jasmine Rice. The perfect accompaniments. I will definitely be making this again. Time to searchout more recipes from well plated ~ Thanks Erin!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed the recipe, SuzyM! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
2 tablespoons of orange zest is too much. It destroyed the flavor. I tried 2 teaspoons zest and it taste better. But this is a healthier alternative recipe of orange chicken compared to Chinese take out/delivery.
Thanks for trying the recipe, Lyneth! I’m happy that you enjoyed it!
Hi, how much sodium does this dish contain per serving? It’s not listed above. Thank you!
Hi Ashton! I stopped including sodium info because it can vary so much depending upon what products you used, and I found a lot of conflicting info online, so ultimately I didn’t feel comfortable publishing it because sometimes it wasn’t even in the ballpark. If you’d like to calculate it yourself, there are lots of free tools online (myfitnesspal.com is popular). I hope that helps!
I thought this recipe was great. Will be making again…I love the flavors and how smaller pieces of broccoli were almost crispy. I added some soy, chili and hoisin sauce but probably not necessary and red pepper slices right on top of the broccoli. Toasted almond or sesame seeds would be awesome here. Comes together pretty fast too. Frozen rice from Trader Joe’s a no brainer on that end from the microwave. Makes me want to explore more sheet pan cooking.
I’m so happy that you enjoyed it, David! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
This was delicious! I’m not someone who is very comfortable in the kitchen, but this recipe was clear, easy to follow, and my entire family (incl. toddlers) loved it. I took a leap of faith and made a triple batch the first time, and am glad I did.
The first orange chicken recipe that I found called for frying the meat in 3 inches of oil (!)….I was so glad to find this healthy, oil-free version.
Yay! That makes me so happy to hear Ronette! Thank you for this kind review!
My husband and son who have never even eaten any orange chicken raved about this. Thank you.
Hi Jody! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
I can’t believe I just made orange chicken and broccoli! So good. Served with cauliflower rice. I doubled the recipe. No problems. Used the readers suggestion of the egg whites. I had spicy honey so I used that instead of the red pepper flakes. ONLY thing I would add is toasted sesame seeds but I don’t want to wait for them to toast so I am diving in. Erin, I always love your recipes!
Hi Jennifer! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
I misread the recipe and put in a tablespoon of garlic, tried to compensate with more honey, but the sauce tasted bitter and of too much ginger. I have to try this again as I obviously did something wrong. I have never had a problem with one of your recipes, so this must be user error.
Hi Barbara! I hope you’ll try it again!
I haven’t tried the recipe but someone stole it from your blog and renamed it, claiming it as their own on 12 Tomatoes. She did add your link.
Thanks for letting me know Angel!
I used the 4 serving recipe to be split 3 ways. (Myself and my 11 and 13 year old boys.) There wasn’t any squawking when I used Wild Rice.
….there were no leftovers!!!
Hi John! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
I made this tonight and I felt like the zest made it bitter. I think without that it would’ve been perfect! The sauce was super think too. I will probably cut down on cornstarch or add more water. Looking forward to trying it again!
I’m sorry to hear that you had trouble with the recipe, Trina. Sometimes getting too close to the white of the orange can cause the zest to be bitter, but you can definitely leave it out.
Beautiful recipe but that is not why I am commenting.
There is an Instagram page called “campoaves” that uses your photos to get people to click on their homepage. I thought you would like to know.
PS: looks like they deleted it but I have a screenshot in case you need it!!
Hi Silvia! Thanks for letting me know!
Great healthy version and made with real food! Only recommendation for others is to use less of the orange zest and less cornstarch. Final sauce was yummy but too thick and concentrated for our taste (we would have preferred more as glaze than sauce). Nonetheless, these are easy adjustments to make.
Thanks for the feedback Katie!
Hi, I’m a huge orange chicken fan and really really wanted this skinny version to be good. I don’t know where I went wrong- the sauce was a flop! The consistency was perfect, but for some reason it was bitter and overall not yummy. Do you have any tips for me to make this work next time? Any specific orange that worn make it bitter?
Hi Tristen! So sorry to hear that you had that result. The only thing that could cause it to be bitter is the zest of the orange. Too much could result in that flavor (although the amount here has been tested and it’s perfect for me). “You want the colorful part of the peel only, not the white pith! The pith has a bitter flavor and should be avoided.” Hope this helps!
This meal is so good and so easy to make! We’ve been mixing the broccoli into the sauce with the chicken. My two year old cleans her bowl every time I make this and says “mmmm!” after every bite. I’ve used orange juice in a pinch, instead of juice and zest from an orange, and it still turned out great. This meal has become part of our regular rotation! Thanks Erin!
HI Brandi! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
What’s the sodium content? That’s not listened in the nutritional facts…
Hi Jamie! I stopped including sodium info because it can vary so much depending upon what products you used, and I found a lot of conflicting info online, so ultimately I didn’t feel comfortable publishing it because sometimes it wasn’t even in the ballpark. If you’d like to calculate it yourself, there are lots of free tools online (myfitnesspal.com is popular). I hope that helps!
Very easy, quick and teenager approved.
Great to hear, thank you Kerrie!
I made this last night and it was fantastic. I was nervous about all the comments saying it was bitter but went ahead anyway because if you zest an orange correctly, it will not be bitter! You need an zester (not a cheese grater) and just zest the orange not the white! The only changes I made was using one cup of orange juice, 1 TBS of corn starch and added 2 TBS of apple cider vinegar and a small chopped up jalapeño pepper that was seeded. This recipe is a keeper.
So glad this was a hit, thank you!
AMAZING!
So glad you enjoyed it, Alex! Looks great!
Hi Danielle, I’m so sorry this recipe didn’t turn out well for you. I (and other readers) had great success with this dish, so I really wish it would’ve been a hit for you too! Next time, you could try reducing the amount of cornstarch, if you want it less thick.
