~Tara
2 cups instant brown rice - uncooked
1 can (14 oz.) fat free reduced sodium chicken broth divided
10 Ritz Crackers, finely crushed (I used low fat)
4 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tsp oil (I used Canola oil and added as needed)
1/3 cup Philadelphia Chive & Onion Light Cream Cheese Spread
I served with asparagus.
Cook rice as directed in pkg., using 1 1/4 cups of the broth and 1/2 cup water
Meanwhile Mix cracker crumbs with Parmesan cheese on plate. Rinse chicken in cold water; gently shake excess water. Dip chicken in crumb mixture and coat each side. Discard any remaining crumbs.
Heat oil in large skillet on med. heat. Add chicken - cook 5-6 min. on each side or until golden brown. Place chicken on serving plate and cover to keep warm. Add remaining 1/2 cup broth and the cream cheese to skillet (with crumbs left in). Cook on med. heat just until mixture comes to boil, stirring constantly. Simmer 3 min. or until sauce thickens, stirring frequently. Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.
Asparagus:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lay asparagus on a cookie sheet, spray with olive oil cooking spray or pour olive oil on top lightly. Salt and pepper to liking and cook for about 10 min. To avoid the tough ends break them rather than cut them before cooking. The asparagus will break easily at a natural place where the tough end is gone.

Sweet and Sour Chicken

I made this last night and it turned out really good. Jared loved it! I found it on the internet and this is the picture they had - but mine really did turn out just like the picture! It takes a long time but is very simple. For just the two of us I cut the ingredients for the chicken in half but still made all of the sauce and we ended up using all of it.
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Chicken:
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup canola oil
Cut boneless chicken breasts into chunks. Season with salt and pepper. Dip chicken in cornstarch first and then in egg. Fry in a little oil until brown but not cooked through. Place in a single layer in a baking dish. Mix sauce ingredients (below) together and pour over chicken.
Sauce:
¾ cup sugar
4 tablespoons ketchup
½ cup vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Bake for one hour at 325 degrees. Turn chicken every 15 minutes. If you still like extra sauce, make another batch of sauce and bring it to a boil on the stovetop. Stir constantly and let cook over medium heat until thickened and reduced - about 6-8 minutes. Hope y'all enjoy!
