Low Calorie Chronicles: Asian Style Honey BBQ Chicken
We like Chinese food as I have said before in this blog, and this was a great alternative that is not fried. Each serving is only 291 calories.
Note: I should have cut the meat up, but it was frozen and not cutting up well when I was starting so I just did the same amount of ounces in bigger pieces.
This is from the Hungry Girl to the Max cookbook.
Do not forget to allot for the marinating time in preparation.
