Diabetic Exchanges
| 1/4 | cup low-sugar orange marmalade |
| 3 | tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce |
| 2 | tablespoons rice vinegar |
| 1 | tablespoon canola oil |
| 2 | teaspoons grated fresh ginger or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
| 1/8 | to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
| 4 | skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 to 1-1/4 pounds total) |
| Nonstick cooking spray |
1. For marinade: In a small bowl, stir together marmalade, soy sauce, vinegar, oil, ginger, and crushed red pepper. Transfer 1/3 cup of the marinade to a small bowl; cover and chill until ready to serve. Set aside remaining marinade.
2. Place each chicken breast half between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet,* lightly pound each chicken breast half to 1/2-inch thickness. Remove plastic wrap. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag set in a deep bowl; add remaining marinade. Seal and turn to coat chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours, turning occasionally. Drain chicken, discarding marinade.
3. Coat an unheated very large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray; preheat over medium-high heat. Add drained chicken breast halves. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170°F), turning once. If chicken browns too fast, reduce heat to medium. Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Cover to keep warm.
4. Add the reserved 1/3 cup marinade to the same skillet. Heat through, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. Serve over chicken.
*Test Kitchen Tip: If you do not have a meat mallet, use the bottom of a heavy small saucepan to pound the meat. Make sure the saucepan handle is firmly attached to the saucepan.
