Grilled Orange Chicken Strips |
These chicken strips come out juicy and moist every time. They can even be made on a George Foreman grill. They're so yummy, you won't believe they're low-calorie!
To save time, you can make a large batch, divide it and put in freezer bags. Thaw, and the chicken is automatically marinated. Then proceed to cook as directed.
Alternatively, cook a large batch at one time and use in a variety of ways over the course of a week: in salads, as part of a sandwich rolled in a lettuce leaf, incorporated in omelets, or just grab a couple of cold chicken strips as a quick high protein snack on the go...YUMMY!
