Oven Fried Chicken Strips





Ingredients:





1 tsp. canola oil





1 cup panko or bread crumbs





2 tsp. sesame seeds





1/2 tsp. sweet paprika





1/4 tsp. onion powder





1/2 tsp. kosher salt





1/8 tsp. freshly ground white or black pepper





1 egg white





1 to 1 1/4 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts,


cut with the grain into strips 3/4 inch wide





Canola-oil cooking spray


Directions:





Remove the center rack from an oven and cover it with a sheet of aluminum foil, leaving 1 inch uncovered on all sides so that heat can freely circulate once the rack is returned to the oven. Brush the foil lightly with the canola oil and set the prepared rack aside. Preheat the oven to 450掳F.





In a wide, shallow dish, stir together the panko, sesame seeds, paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper. In another dish, beat the egg white until foamy. Roll 1 piece of the chicken in the egg white; shake it lightly to release the excess. Then roll it in the seasoned panko, coating evenly and pressing with your fingers to help the mixture adhere. Place the chicken on a plate and repeat until all the chicken is coated.





One by one, coat the chicken on all sides with cooking spray and place the pieces in a single layer on the prepared oven rack. Slide the rack into the center of the oven. Bake the chicken until the coating on the bottom is light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Using tongs, turn the chicken over and continue to bake until the pieces are golden brown all over and the meat is opaque in the center, 10 to 12 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a platter and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. The coating becomes crisper as it sits. Serve warm. Serves 4.





Sauteed Green Beans





Ingredients:





4 shallots





1 teaspoon salt, plus more, to taste





1 pound green beans, stems snapped off





1 tablespoon butter





1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar





Freshly ground pepper, to taste


Fill a large saucepan half full with water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil.





Cut off the stem ends of the shallots. Cut each shallot in half lengthwise. Peel off and throw away the papery outer skin. Slice the shallots thinly lengthwise.





Cook the beans


When the water is boiling, add the 1 teaspoon salt and drop in the green beans. Boil the beans until they are bright green and just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.





Set a colander in the sink. Ask an adult to help you pour the beans into the colander. Rinse the beans with cold water until they are cool, then drain again.





Cook the shallots


Put the butter in a fry pan over low heat and let it melt. When the butter foams, add the shallots and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until they are very soft and beginning to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the vinegar and stir for another minute until the shallots are coated.





Mix it together


Add the drained beans to the fry pan. Increase the heat to medium and cook, tossing with the tongs, until the beans are heated through, about 1 minute. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.Healthy But Yummy Recipes?

Baked Chicken Breast with Honey Mustard Sauce








Prep and cook time: 30 min.





Ingredients:





4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts


1 陆 cups chicken broth


1 TBS fresh lemon juice


2 陆 TBS honey


2 TBS Dijon Mustard


录 cup sliced dried apricots


1 TBS chopped parsley


4 bunches fresh spinach, stems removed and rinsed thoroughly


salt and pepper to taste





Directions:





Preheat oven to 375. Place chicken breasts in baking dish. Season with salt and pepper and cover. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until done. While chicken is baking, bring salted water to a boil to cook spinach.





While water is coming to a boil, begin sauce. Combine broth, lemon juice, honey and mustard in a small saucepan. Whisk together and bring to a boil on high heat. Once it comes to a boil, simmer for about 20 minutes. This can be cooking while chicken is baking. You want it to be reduced to a little less than half the volume you start with. This will thicken and intensify the flavor. Add apricots and cook on high for another 5 minutes. When sauce is done add chopped walnuts, parsley, salt and pepper. Cook spinach for only 2 minutes at the most. Drain and press dry. Season with a little salt and pepper. Divide spinach between 4 plates. Slice chicken breast and place over bed of spinach. Spoon sauce over chicken and spinach. Serves 4.
