Baked Chicken Egg Rolls

I love egg rolls but all that grease is just so unhealthy. On Emily Bites she has come up with a much healthier and tastier version!


Ingredients

1 t Sesame Oil
2 t Olive Oil
4 Cloves Garlic, Grated or Minced. (I used my microplane.)
2 t Fresh Ginger, Grated or Minced. (I used my microplane.)
1 lb Chicken Breast, Ground in a Food Processor
1 c Shredded Green Cabbage
1/4 c Shredded Carrots (I used my box grater.)
1/4 c Chopped Bean Sprouts
1 c Chopped Shitake Mushrooms
2 Medium Scallions, Sliced Thinly
3 T Hoisin Sauce
14 Egg Roll Wrappers

Directions

  1. Preheat the over to 425 degrees.

Pesto and Chicken and Tomato Skewers

So I have been off for a little while working on prepping for my fantasy football drafts. I am now back and have a lot of recipes to post. I love pesto but there is always sooooo much oil. Gina at Skinny Taste has come up with a healthier pesto and marinated chicken in it. These skewers are amazing and unlike many pestos that are overrun by oil and garlic this one is perfectly balanced and it clings to the chicken and when grilled the flavor is infused into the chicken.


Ingredients

1 c Fresh Basil Leaves
1 Clove Garlic
1/4 c Grated Parmesan
Kosher Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper
3 T Olive Oil
1-1/4 lbs Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into 1-Inch Cubes
24 Cherry Tomatoes
1 Small Red Onion, Sliced into Wedges
16 Wooden Skewers

Directions

  1. Blend the Basil, Garlic, Parmesan, Salt, and Pepper in a Food processor. While pulsing the food processor slowly add the garlic.
