Orange Chicken Fingers image

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
8 ounces snow peas, sliced
3 medium carrots, about 8 ounces, peeled and julienned, or 2 1/2 cups storebought shredded carrots
Cooking spray
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
4 cups (3 1/2 ounces) crispy rice cereal
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon low-sodium teriyaki sauce
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into tenders 4 by 1 1/2-inches, about 18 pieces
1/2 cup low-sugar orange marmalade
1 tablespoon low-sodium teriyaki sauce
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make the salad: In a large bowl whisk the vinegar and honey until combined and then whisk in the sesame oil. Add the snow peas and carrots and toss well to coat. Set aside for the flavors to blend while the chicken and sauce cook.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and lightly mist with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Put the sesame seeds in a small nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Put the cereal in a plastic storage bag and crush with a rolling pin or heavy can until coarsely crushed. In a shallow bowl combine the toasted sesame seeds, crushed cereal and orange zest and lightly season with salt and pepper.
  • In a second shallow dish, beat the egg whites with the teriyaki sauce. Dip each chicken tender in the egg mixture and then the cereal mixture, pressing to coat well. Place on the rack and mist the chicken with nonstick cooking spray. Bake until the crust is golden and the chicken is cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepot heat the marmalade, teriyaki and ginger over medium heat until melted and well combined. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Serve the chicken with some of the sauce for dipping and the salad.

Dijon, Saltine and Wheat Germ Crusted Chicken Fingers with Ranch Dipping Sauce image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup low fat plain yogurt
1 sleeve (about 25) saltine crackers, crumbled
1 cup toasted wheat germ
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted, optional
Ranch Dipping Sauce, for serving, recipe follows
1 1/2 cups low fat yogurt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons celery salt
2 shakes hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley leaves
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Cut the chicken breasts on the diagonal into wide flat strips and season with salt, to taste. In a large bowl, combine the Dijon and the yogurt, toss in the chicken and stir to coat evenly.
  • Pulse, pulse, pulse the crackers in a food processor until they look like fine crumbs. Add the wheat germ and toasted almonds and pulse until it is a homogeneous mixture. Put this mixture into a wide flat dish. Roll the marinated chicken in this mixture, 1 piece at a time, pressing the cracker/wheat germ mixture to evenly crust each piece. Lay the prepared chicken onto a sheet tray fitted with a rack. Baking the chicken on a rack will allow the air to circulate around the chicken to cook it evenly and make it crispy.
  • Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through but not dry, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven to a serving platter and serve with the Dipping Sauce.
  • Combine all the ingredients in a bowl.
  • Dip the chicken fingers in this and say yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmyy!

CHICKEN FINGERS WITH ORANGE DIPPING SAUCE



Chicken Fingers with Orange Dipping Sauce image

An easy sauce made of orange juice, lemon juice, and honey is an irresistible dip for chicken fingers. Use the sauce, minus the honey, as a marinade if you are making the chicken fingers from scratch.

Transfer to the bowl with the egg and submerge to coat. Lift and let excess drip off. Roll in the panko and place on a wire rack set over a large baking sheet.
