This is a recipe that both kids and adults will love.
Gluten Free
Serves Three
Sesame-Ginger Chicken Strips--
Ingredients--
1/4 cup gluten free low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp. dark sesame oil
1.5 tsp. grated fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into 1/2 inch-wide strips
1.5 tsp. sesame seeds
3/4 cup fresh gluten free bread crumbs
1 recipe Tangy Marmalade Dip (see recipe below)
1. Place soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and shake the marinade ingredients together.
2. Add the chicken to the bag, reseal, and shake until chicken is evenly coated. Refrigerate for 1 hour (or overnight).
3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a slotted broiler pan with nonstick spray. (You can also use a regular baking sheet but the chicken tenders will need to be flipped halfway through cooking,)
4. Place sesame seeds in a small skillet and heat over medium heat, shaking the pan often, until fragrant and toasty (1-2 minutes).
5. Place the breadcrumbs and sesame seeds in a shallow bowl.
6. Remove one chicken strip from marinade, and shake off any excess liquid. Dredge the chicken in breadcrumb/sesame mixture until evenly coated on all sides. Arrange on prepared broiler pan. Repeat with remaining chicken strips.
7. Bake until the chicken is cooked through, and breading is golden, 18-20 minutes. Serve with marmalade dip on the side.
