Thai Style Chicken

This recipe is also from my Taste of Home cookbook. (Sidenote...I wouldn't recommend this cookbook. It has tons of good recipes, but the index is horrible and makes it impossible to find what you want.) I liked this one because it's very flavorful and citrus-y. Plus each serving (1 chicken breast half) is only 134 calories! Can't beat that. I made a couple of very minor changes to the original recipe because I thought the lemon flavor was a little bit over-the-top. The changes are in italics next to the original recipe.

Ingredients:

1/4 c reduced-sodium soy sauce

3 T lemon juice (the juice from one lemon)

1 T dried basil

2 T fat-free plain yogurt

2 tsp. grated lemon peel (1 tsp lemon peel)

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, basil, yogurt, lemon peel, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes. Remove 1/4 cup to another small bowl; cover and refrigerate.

2. Pour the rest of the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag and add the chicken. Let the chicken marinade overnight in the fridge. 

3. Drain and discard marinade. Place chicken in a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spoon reserved marinade over chicken. Bake, uncovered, at 375 for 20 minutes. Serves 4.
