SKINNY POPCORN CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425° F. Line 2 cookie sheets with foil; top with wire racks. Spray racks with cooking spray.
• Place sweet potatoes in medium bowl; sprinkle with cornstarch. Toss to coat; transfer to 1 of the racks. Spray potatoes lightly with cooking spray. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Bake 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt, the thyme and 1/2 teaspoon paprika in small bowl; add chicken. Toss to coat. Add bread crumbs, and press gently to coat each piece of chicken. Transfer to remaining rack. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Add chicken to oven with partially baked potatoes. Bake potatoes and chicken 10 to 15 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in center and potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.
• Meanwhile, in another small bowl, stir together Honey Mustard Sauce ingredients. Set aside.
• Divide chicken and sweet potato fries between 2 plates. Serve with sauce.

LEMON CHICKEN & SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Mix Worcestershire sauce, lemon zest, juice, oil, sugar and shallots until blended. Reserve 1/4 cup for later use; pour remaining over chicken in shallow dish. Turn to evenly coat both sides of each chicken breast. Refrigerate I hour to marinate, turning chicken occasionally.
• Heat grill to medium heat and heat oven to 400ºF. Bake fries in oven as directed on package. Meanwhile, remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Grill chicken 6 to 8 min. on each side or until done (165ºF), brushing frequently with the reserved Worcestershire sauce mixture for the first 5 min. of the grilling time.
• Serve chicken with the fries.

POPCORN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Beat eggs and lemon juice together in a separate bowl.
• Heat 1 1/2 to 2 inches of oil in a large pot over medium heat.
• Dip the chicken pieces into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and again into the flour mixture.
• Test the oil to make sure it is hot enough: a small amount of flour dropped in should sizzle. Place 10 pieces of chicken into the hot oil; cook until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel lined plate and season with salt. Repeat with remaining chicken.
