Crispy Breaded Orange Chicken

 This is a recipe I took from a Weight Watchers book, and it is absolutely delicious!! My hubby and daughter loved it, I'll definately be doing this one again and again!

Ingredients:

4 skinless boneless chicken thighs (I did 5)
1 cup cracker crumbs
3 tbsp grated orange zest
2 tbsp orange juice
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 small onion finely chopped (or 1 shallot)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper



Mix salt, orange juice, and dijon mustard in a small bowl

Mix onion, cracker crumbs, orange zest, and black pepper, and spread out on wax paper




Prepare a non stick pan with cooking spray

Organize an "assembly line"



Dip chicken thighs in  the mustard mixture coating all sides

Dredge chicken in cracker/orange mixture. Press into the mixture to make sure it sticks well. Coat all sides with cracker mixture and place in prepared pan



Bake at 350F for 20 minutes, turn chicken pieces over and continue baking until cooked through, or for another 20 minutes approximately

Prepare some side dishes. I prepared baked sweet potatoes and grilled zucchini and wax beans. This meal was DELICIOUS!!

Bon Appetit!



Now if I could only enjoy a nice glass of vino.....ummm......not much longer to go, only another 7 weeks or so til new babe arrives!!
