HG's Sweet & Sticky Orange Chicken
Orange You Glad?
Even the pickiest eaters have a weakness for the deep-fried, sweetly sauced Chinese-style dish known as orange chicken. But skip the fatty original -- our swap is SO INSANELY GOOD, you may swear off takeout versions forever.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
10 oz. raw boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/8 tsp. each salt and black pepper
1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1/4 cup fat-free chicken broth
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 1/2 tbsp. low-sugar orange marmalade
1 1/2 tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar
1 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
1 tbsp. reduced-sodium/lite soy sauce
1 tsp. chopped garlic
1 tsp. chopped ginger
Dash red pepper flakes
2 tbsp. chopped scallions
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
Place flour in a wide bowl.
Place chicken in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Top with egg substitute and toss to coat.
One at a time, shake chicken pieces to remove excess egg and coat with flour. Evenly lay chicken pieces on the baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
In a medium bowl, whisk broth with cornstarch until cornstarch has dissolved. Add marmalade, vinegar, sweetener, and soy sauce, and thoroughly whisk.
Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Cook and stir garlic and ginger until slightly softened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth mixture and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until well mixed and slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat, add chicken, and toss to coat. Serve topped with scallions and enjoy!

Baked Egg Rolls
1 14oz Dole Classic Coleslaw Mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
6 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded
1 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
Egg roll wrappers
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add garlic and onion. Saute for about 2-3 minutes or until onions are translucent. Add coleslaw mix and cook, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes. Do not let it brown, it will have a burnt taste. Add in veggie broth and chicken; reduce heat to low and let simmer until all liquid is gone. Stir in soy sauce. Remove from heat.
Place the egg roll wrapper so that it looks like a diamond. Add 1/4 cup cabbage mixture to each egg roll, placing it in the middle in between the East and West points leaving some space around the edge. Bring up the South corner and tuck end under filling. Bring the East and West sides towards the middle, they should be just about touching. Then bring the North corner down and wrap it around the egg roll. Place seam side on pan. It's not necessary to seal the edges since you are baking, but you can dip your finger in water and spread it over the seam if you wish. Repeat until you've used all the cabbage mixture (I got 17 out of it).
Spray egg rolls with cooking spray (this will help them brown up) Bake for about 15-18 minutes or until deep golden brown.
Makes 17, each serving is 1 each
Per Serving
Calories 88, Fat 1, Carbs 14, Fiber 1, Protein 5
Sweet and Sour Sauce
1/3 cup white or rice vinegar (Note: rice vinegar gives better results)
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 4 teaspoons water
Preparation:
Mix the vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce together and bring to a boil in a small pot. Mix together the cornstarch and water, add to the other ingredients and stir to thicken.
(If desired, you can add 1 green pepper, cut into chunks, and pineapple chunks as desired after adding the cornstarch. For a thicker sauce, increase the cornstarch to 4 teaspoons while keeping the water constant.)
I am drooling just READING the ingredients!0 -

we make lettuce wraps a lot. there really isn't a recipe but i cut up chicken breasts into small cubes (i breast was enough for Fi and i. chop yellow onion, green onion, mushrooms, and water chestnuts. I put a little bit of oil in a skillet and cook the chicken. in a bowl i mix soy,sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, garlic, and a little catsup. I mix it together and then add sauce and veggies to the skillet and cook until the veggies are tender. then i just wrap them up in lettuce leaves. they are so yummy and not that bad. Because i don't have an actual recipe, i don't have macros0

TOTAL TIME
30 Min
SERVINGS 4
Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 lb)
1/4 cup fat-free egg product or 1 egg
2 tablespoons lemon juice

3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

1 Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick.
