The idea for this mixture came to slave while at
work
today and could hardly get home to put it to
the test for You!
Blending a sweet cranberry with a
sharp red onion stuffing really
makes this dish.
Baking this crusty chicken without deep frying will
also help your resolve for healthier living this
year. (as well as
impressing the hell out of your
dinner guests)
Ingredients:
2lbs
boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½
cup chopped red onion
½
cup dried cranberries
4
oz low fat cream cheese softened
2tbs
oil
1
cup corn flakes, crushed fine
½
cup lower fat mayonnaise
¼
tsp garlic powder
cooking
spray
Directions:
Place
a rack in the center of the oven and
preheat to 400
degrees.
Line
a rimmed baking sheet with foil and
place a cooking rack on it.
Spray lightly.
Chop
up the red onion, crush the cornflakes.
Heat
oil in skillet over medium heat. Stir in
the red onion and saute for
4 minutes. Add
the cranberries stirring occasionally to keep
from
sticking. Let them cook together for
another 4 minutes.
Drain
into paper towels in a small bowl.
In
a larger bowl cut up the cream cheese and
blend in the
onion-cranberry mixture while
still hot. Mix thoroughly.
Lay
out the sprayed cooking rack, a bowl
with the mayonnaise, and a bowl
with
cornflakes:(optional is adding some
Parmesan cheese to the
crushed flakes). Mix
the garlic powder into the mayonnaise.
Cut
a pocket into each breast, not all the way
through but most of the
way. Stuff with a
tbs of the Cheese/cranberry mixture, secure
with 2
toothpicks and set aside till all are
done.
Now
with a pastry brush, “paint” the
underside of the breast with the
mayonnaise and place that “mayo” side
down into the corn flakes.
Then do the top
the same way.
When coated place on cooking rack. Make
sure they do not touch.
Let
these bake for 30 minutes or until a
thermometer reads 160
degrees.
Remove
from oven and let rest for 4
minutes before serving. Be sure
to take out
the toothpicks!
Slave
fixed a simple side dish of sugar snap
peas to complete this healthy
“oven fried”
chicken dinner. The combination of sharp
red onion
with sweetness of the cranberries
and background of cream cheese is
an
unexpected joy!
For
our music how about a cross between
classical and disco?
