Rachael Ray: Chinese Lemony Chicken
This is another recipe from Rachael Ray, and I had a follower ask about lighter recipes. My thoughts on this, is everything in moderation, and I feel like a lot of her recipes are healthy for you, I mean they’re better then running through the drive through. The recipe linked here is lightened up in her book, see the notes and I’ll tell you how to lighten it up, which is the way that I choose to make it! Basically when she wants you to fry things up, just throw them in the oven. Here are my 2 thoughts on this: 1- Less Greasy, 2- safer when you have a 1 year old following you around the kitchen, as in the grease doesn’t splatter! So either one you choose I think you’ll be pleased!
Recipe: Chinese Lemony Chicken
Lightened Up Lemony Chicken
Cookbook: YUM-O!
Total Time: 30 minutes
Husband Says: “The sauce was good, baked chicken was nice, good to have a different style, not fried or grilled. Different, but good.”
Notes:As promised here is how you lighten this up: pour your breadcrumbs (I just used what I had on hand), lemon zest, seasme seeds (I did not use), and ground ginger into a gallon plastic bag. Add chicken tenders a few at a time and shake to cover, then bake for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees! I served this with plain steamed rice. I do wish the sauce was a little thicker, but we just poured it over the chicken and rice, I thought it was delicious!
Ingredients
shake the chicken in the bag
cover completely
place on a baking sheet
bake until cooked through
Sounds good!
