Hg's Fiber-Ific Fried Chicken Strips

DIRECTIONS Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Using a blender or food processor, grind the cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Add garlic salt and black pepper to crumbs. Place crumbs in one small dish and egg substitute in another. Next, coat raw chicken - first with egg and then with crumbs. Place strips on a baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray. Add a light mist of nonstick spray on top and place in the oven. Cook for 10 minutes and then turn strips over. Spritz with another light mist of nonstick spray and cook for an additional 7 to 10 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked and crumb coating looks crispy. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS 6 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, raw, lean, cut into 8 strips 1⁄2 cup all-bran cereal (Fiber One original) 1⁄4 cup fat free egg substitute 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic salt 1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Hg's Island Insanity Burger

INGREDIENTS 1 small hamburger bun (light, if available) 1 vegan burger, Boca Original Vegan Meatless Burger 1 slice fat-free cheddar cheese 1 pineapple ring, packed in juice 1 slice tomato 1 leaf lettuce 1 tablespoon teriyaki marinade, thick kind with about 20 - 25 calories per tbsp. (like the one by Lawry's) 1 teaspoon fat-free mayonnaise DIRECTIONS Bring a pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. (If you have a grill pan, use it -- you'll get neato grill marks.) Lay pineapple ring in the pan, and cook until slightly blackened and caram elized, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside to cool. Cut a slit in the burger pouch. Place burger, slit-side up, in the microwave. Microwave for just 1 minute (not the time given on the box).

Pour half of the teriyaki marinade on top, spread it around, and flip patty to coat

HOW TO MAKE BONELESS CHICKEN WINGS

You may be wondering how to make boneless chicken wings. Luckily boneless chicken wings are very easy to make and the truth is, there is really no such thing as a boneless chicken wing. Boneless chicken wings are simply breaded pieces of chicken breast. Popular chains like Buffalo Wild Wings have made these extremely popular. What I like about boneless wings instead of your normal chicken wing is that they are far less messy. They are very easy to eat with a fork and you don’t have to worry about bones. In this article I explain how to make a crispy breaded that can be used for all of the sauces. I also introduce recipes for 5 of my favorite wing sauces. These sauces include buffalo, honey BBQ, Parmesan garlic, Asian, and Caribbean jerk. Fans of a lot of spice are sure to enjoy the buffalo, Asian, and Caribbean jerk sauces. Those who like a more mild sauce will enjoy the honey BBQ and the parmesan garlic. With the playoffs coming up and the Super Bowl right around the corner, these are

HONEY GARLIC PORK CHOPS RECIPE

One thing that I always enjoy grilling during the summer is honey garlic pork chops. This recipe uses boneless pork chops but you can use chops with the bone-in as well. The highlight of this recipe is the sauce which consists of honey, ketchup, garlic and soy sauce. This delicious sauce is basted onto the pork chops during the grilling process and the end result is amazing. If you would prefer to use a different type of meat, this recipe would work with chicken as well. If you are looking for a simple and delicious recipe for the grill, give this one a try. Enjoy. Ingredients: 1 cup ketchup 1/3 cup honey ¼ cup soy sauce 2 garlic cloves (minced) 1 1/2lbs boneless pork chops (6 4 oz portions) salt and pepper Cooking Instructions: Step 1: In a medium bowl stir together ketchup, honey, soy sauce and garlic. Set aside. Step 2: Lightly season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Brush each chop with the sauce to coat. Step 3: Grease the grill grates of an outdoor grill and

MALIBU CHICKEN RECIPE

This is a copycat recipe for the Malibu Chicken at Sizzlers Restaurant. Unfortunately, we not do have a Sizzler’s here but the recipe looked delicious. Malibu chicken is breaded chicken topped with ham and Swiss cheese and served with a honey mustard sauce. I used black forest ham for this recipe but really any type of sliced deli ham will work. The honey mustard sauce is a combination of mustard, mayonnaise and honey. The chicken is coated with egg and a seasoned bread crumb mixture and then baked in the oven. You can brown the chicken in a skillet in hot oil before baking if you would like. Simply, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken on both sides, transfer to a baking sheet, and finish cooking in the oven. I like to serve this recipe with flavored rice. Enjoy. MALIBU CHICKEN YIELD: 4 SERVINGS INGREDIENTS: 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 5 egg yolks 3 tablespoons minced garlic 1 cup panko bread crumbs 1 cup parmesan ch
