Honey-Soy Chicken Planks

These were so delicious! They were flavorful and crunchy without being high in fat. I don't often make Chinese-type food as stir-fry often contains the dreaded vegetables. I found a recipe from Rachael Ray for some honey mustard chicken planks and became inspired for something more Chinese-y. These were also great paired with the Fried Rice. 

Honey Soy Chicken Planks

adapted from multiple recipes

Prep Time: 20 minutes, plus 3 hours for marinating

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Servings: 4-6

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

3 TBS vegetable oil

1 TBS sesame oil

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 TBS chopped ginger

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

2-3 TBS toasted sesame seeds

Directions

In a bowl, mix together the oils, honey, soy sauce, garlic and ginger. Cut the chicken breasts into 2 1/2 -3 " wide strips (about 1/2" thick) and put in the honey-soy sauce marinade. Let it sit for 3-4 hours.

Remove the chicken from the fridge and let it come to room temperature. 

Preheat the oven to 425. Place a baking rack on a baking sheet with a rim and coat the rack with cooking spray.

In a shallow pan, mix together the panko and sesame seeds. Remove the strips from the marinade, shake off excess liquid and place them in the breading. Press the breading lightly into each side. Place the chicken on the rack and lightly coat with cooking spray. 

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. 

Enjoy!
