This recipe I saw Rachael Ray do on one of her shows and I thought it was great. Eating chicken is a great way to eat protein, but still eat healthy. Here is a fun way to eat chicken with tons of flavor. Healthy flavor.

Lemon Garlic Herb Chicken

Make as much as you want, serve 2 chicken breasts per person.

Ingredients

5 cloves garlic, peeled
Salt
Black pepper
2 lemons, zested
1 teaspoon fennel seed
5 to 6 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped and finely chopped
3 to 4 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves stripped and finely chopped
A handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1/2 to 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4-8 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Directions

Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high.

Grate the garlic onto acutting board and add a couple teaspoons salt, mash into paste with the flat of your knife. Alternatively you can finely chop the garlic and leave out the salt. Without salt it still tastes great!

Reserve 1/5 of the pasted garlic, about 1 clove and add the rest to a shallow dish. To the garlic, add the lemon zest, fennel seed, chopped thyme, rosemary, parsley and about 1/4 to 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil and some black pepper. Stir with a fork to combine then add chicken pieces and coat evenly. It will get a bit messy!

Grill chicken 12 to 15 minutes until juices run clear.

Remove chicken from the grill and squeeze the juice of 1 of the zested lemons down over the meat while still hot.

Being on a diet, almost anything with chicken and salad, you can’t go wrong.

Grilled Chicken Salad with Honey Ginger Dressing recipe serves 4

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1-2 pounds)
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
8 cups mesclun salad greens (7 ounces)
1 ripe mango, peeled and cute into bite-size cubes
salt and pepper for taste

Cooking Tip: While the chicken is grilling, cut the mango and make the honey-ginger dressing.

Chicken Directions

Heat a grill pan (or grill) over medium-high heat. Brush the chicken with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the chicken smooth side down on the grill and cook until edges turn opaque, about 6 minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook until firm to touch, about 6 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest for about 5 minutes.

Dressing Directions

Combine the lemon juice, honey, and ginger in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil (4 tablespoons). First start with a few drops and then add the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing.

Salad Directions

To put the salad together, slice or shred the chicken into pieces and add it to the greens along with the mango and dressing. Toss and divide the salad among 4 large plates and serve.

Cooking Tip: This is an excellent appetizer or side dish. Especially if you want to make the same recipe for 6-8 people. The salad portions will be smaller and a nice taste for a main course.

This is a fun chicken recipe that puts a little spice to the meal. Enjoy this with vegetables of your choice.

Makes 12 pops

12 chicken drummettes (about 2 pounds)
1 cup hot pepper sauce
vegetable oil
8 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons cajun seasoning
3/4 cup all purpose flour

Cooking Tip: Season the chicken with a bit of salt or pepper for more flavor.

Directions

Stand a drummette on its wide end. While holding the narrow bone at the top, use a paring knife to push and scrape the skin and meat downward to expose the bone this will make a plump “lollipop” of chicken at the bottom. Repeat with other 11 drummettes. Toss the lollipops in 1/2 cup of hot pepper sauce in a stainless steel, glass, or ceramic bowl.

Heat about 3 inches of oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees. While the oil heats, melt the butter with the remaining 1/2 cup hot sauce and 2 teaspoons of the Cajun seasoning. Stir to blend well and set the mixture aside in a warm spot.

Line a large plate with paper towels. Whisk flour with the remaining 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning. Working in small batches, toss lollipops in seasoned flour until completely coated. Fry until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Drain on prepared plate.

When all the lollipops are cooked, put them in a large bowl and toss with warm spiced butter. Serve lollipops warm or at room temperature.
