I have discovered my new favorite cookbook.
It has hundreds of recipe alternatives to fattening restaurant meals.
Today I will just share the Chicken Fingers recipe. You have to get this book. I can't wait for next week to try more of the recipes.
Chicken Fingers with Chipotle-Honey
250 calories, 1.5g fat, 350 mg sodium
compared to Chili's Crispy Honey Chipotle Crispers
1,930 calories, 108g fat, 4,390 mg sodium
1 lb chicken tenders
salt and pepper to taste
3 egg whites, lightly beaten
2 cups Panko bread crumbs (don't substitute)
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Chipotle pepper sauce (I used sriracha hot chili sauce - has a rooster on the bottle)
1 Tbsp honey
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Season chicken with S & P. Place egg whites in shallow bowl. Place panko crumbs on a plate and season those, too. Dip chicken into egg, then toss in crumbs, being sure to coat fully.
Place chicken on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray and bake for 10 - 12 minutes, until crumbs have browned and chicken is firm.
Combine the mustard, pepper sauce and honey mixture. Place in large bowl and toss chicken to coat. (I didn't coat it. I used the mixture as a dipping sauce.)
Please excuse the lack of spacing. I have spent 30 minutes trying to get it to post the way I am writing it but it seems to want to do its own thing. In fact, this sentence looks like this because it has no longer given me the font option. I'm thinking I don't like blogger.com.
So far, I have tried the Chicken Fingers with Chipotle-Honey p. 86, Grilled Chicken and Pineapple Sandwich p. 128 and Blackened Fish Sandwich (with adjustments to ingredients I had on hand) p. 148.
