Faux Chicken Recipes

I love faux frying foods using panko. This crunchy, spicy chicken would be great on a taco salad.

My family loves fried chicken, so when I saw something similar done on ''The Biggest Loser,'' I had to try it. It's a great alternative to ''fried'' chicken.

This oven-"fried" chicken is a delicious alternative to more fattening varieties, relying on Special K cereal and lower-fat/calorie ingredients for the coating.

I used cannellini beans to make the chicken soup, so this is gluten free and lower fat

This makes a large pot of chicken soup with a bit of "gumbo" flavor, but it is milder. Prep can be broken up into different stages, but total cooking time is about an hour.

Low calorie, tasty soup.

Vegan dish for lunch or dinner; This is a "clean the veggies out of the fridge before they go bad" kind of recipe - feel free to substitute whatever vegetables you have at hand!

Crispy like KFC, but without all the calories

A yummy vegetarian, high protein entree. I made this one day, while trying to use up veggies in the fridge.

This might sound like a strange recipe but if you're craving chicken wings but don't want to eat all the fat or calories that they are laiden with than try this. I cut up chicken thighs into 3 or 4 small pieces and place on a baking sheet. It is a great substitute. I small wing has 80 calories and 5.7 grams of fat. A medium skinless chicken thigh is 107 calories with 5.7 grams of fat. Basically you get a lot more for around the same amount of calories.

Awesome crispy texture and flavor and super easy

Quick and easy!
