Finely grated zest of 2 oranges
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

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.

  • 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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings, 4 (4-piece) servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil, for frying
2 ¿3 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons ketchup
6 slices unpeeled fresh ginger
1/2 a lemon, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons fine salt, plus more as needed
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups cold seltzer water
1 pound boneless, skinless, chicken breast halves (about 2 large breasts)

Steps:

  • Pour enough oil into a tall heavy-bottomed pot so it comes about a third of the way up the sides. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil registers 340 degrees F. Set a rack on a baking sheet, put it in the oven, and preheat to 200 degrees F.
  • For the Sauce: Stir the preserves, soy sauce, ketchup, and ginger in a small microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on HIGH until the preserves melt, about 30 seconds. Stir in lemon juice and cool before serving.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the cold seltzer and whisk until batter just comes together; it should be lumpy.
  • Pat the chicken very dry. Cut the chicken lengthwise into 1 by 3-inch strips. Season the chicken with the salt and pepper. Working in small batches, dip the chicken strips into the batter to coat evenly. Fry the chicken, turning once, until richly golden and crisp, about 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a rack in oven to keep warm while frying the remaining chicken.
